I thoroughly recommend that everyone reads the full article - it's fascinating and horrifying in equal measure.
They went to school, studied hard and avoided confrontation. Of course, the same rules didn't apply to their brothers. Beat your sisters, the siblings say their brothers were told, it'll make you better men. My fucking head is helicoptering
Christ above, what a story. Got nothing but sympathy for those poor girls after all they've had to undergo.
I honestly hope they can find somewhere to take them in, I have the greatest sympathies for people trying to escape that shithole. Although with SA having it's fingers in so many pies I do worry they'll get sent back eventually.
They wore niqabs in public from the age of 11 and at home were told to wear long gowns, so as not to tempt their brothers. its a fucking scary world
