Yulia, her husband, and their little daughter lived in a small, quiet village in Ukraine. Yulia loved being woken every morning by the sound of birds. She never thought she would live far away from home, or not be woken up by the sound of birds in the morning.
Monyde ee ye rëër ka jam cïïn wuëu ku gɔl bë ya deek mɔ̈u apεi. Go kë tak bïk miit guöpden la them pan cɔl Portugal. Tεkdë leu bïk wuëu juëëc ya la loi bï kek ɣɔ̈ɔ̈nden budh ku guir piirden akölcïën bë piath.
Her husband was always complaining about not having enough money and he began drinking heavily. They decided to try their luck in Portugal. Maybe there they could earn more money to build a house and make a better future for their family.
Yulia acë rot guɔ piŋ kek panden yam, ku go gɔl luɔi ka ye raan piny guir. Kɔc keen ye gäm luɔi ake ye piöth miεt kek lon ë Yulia ku riεl puou de kek athɛ̈ɛ̈k. Monyde e ye rot yök kacë döŋwei. Kɔc ye gäm luɔi yen ë gam abën wɛ̈t dëŋde mɔ̈u. Ee cïk e gäm luɔi.
Yulia adapted well to her new home, and she started working as a cleaner. Her clients really appreciated her hard work and her polite attitude. Her husband, on the other hand, felt more and more left out. Because of his drinking problem, employers did not trust him and would not give him work.
Na ye köl tök go gɔl bë Yulia rɛ̈l. Ku gɔl bë pïk. Rëël ku tɔŋ ake ye juëëc dhaman cïï yen wiεεt mɔ̈u. Go Yulia riɔ̈c piirde kek nyande, lakin acïn kë ŋic ka bë looi.
One day he started yelling at Yulia. Then, he started pushing her. The shouting and beatings got worse, especially when he was drunk. Yulia was afraid for herself and her daughter, but she had no idea what she could do.
Na wën la Yulia la ɣöön akim mathɛ̈cpa kek köŋ cë dhuɔŋ, go kë lɛ̈k yen lɔnadë tɔŋ bɛ̈ɛ̈ic ee macakil dïït tet pan Portugalic. Gokë luel aya lɔnadë e tir leu bë la lɛ̈k bolith.
When Yulia finally had to go to the emergency room in the hospital with a broken arm, they told her that domestic violence was a huge problem in Portugal. They also said that it was a crime and she should report it to the police.
Yulia acë dhäär ku acï wïc bë nyanden thiin koor dït pan e yen tɔŋ tïŋ thïn akölköl. Go Yulia jal deetic lɔnadë käkë luui röt yen käk acë laaj tɔ̈u ku abɛ̈n dhɔ̈ɔ̈l juëcic.
Yulia was exhausted and did not want her little daughter to grow up in a home where she witnessed violence every day. Yulia realised that the signs of abuse had been there all along, even if it took many different forms.
Yulia acë la pan diär, tä e yen ye guöp pälpiny thïn ka cïn riɔ̈c. Akic rot bεn yök kaya cë më thεεr ye diεεt ye puööc nhiäkdur.
Yulia went to a women’s shelter, where she felt safer than she had in a long time. She had not felt like that since she was woken up by the sound of birds in the morning.
