A woman sitting up in bed and a man sleeping.

یولیا، همسرش و دختر کوچیکشون در یک روستای کوچک و آرام در اوکراین زندگی می کردند. یولیا دوست داشت هر روز صبح با صدای پرندگان از خواب بیدار بشه. اون هیچوقت فکر نمی کرد که دور از خانه زندگی کنه یا صبح با صدای پرنده‌ها از خواب بیدار نشه.

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.


A man sitting on a sofa surrounded by lots of beer cans.

شوهرش همیشه از نداشتن پول کافی شاکی بود و به شدت شروع به نوشیدن الکل کرد. اونها تصمیم گرفتند شانس خودشون رو در پرتغال امتحان کنند. شاید که اونجا بتونن پول بیشتری برای ساخت خونه و ساختن آینده‌ای بهتر برای خانواده شون به دست بیارن.

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.

یولیا به خوبی با محل جدیدش سازگار شد و به عنوان نظافتچی شروع به کار کرد. مشتریانش واقعا قدردان کار سخت و رفتار مودبانه اش بودن. از طرف دیگه، شوهرش بیشتر و بیشتر احساس می کرد که کنار گذاشته شده. کارفرماها بخاطر مشکل مشروب خوردنش بهش اعتماد نداشتند و بهش کار نمی دادند.

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.


A woman looking sad.

یک روز اون شروع کرد به داد زدن سر یولیا. بعد شروع به هل دادنش کرد. این وضع داد و فریاد و ضرب و شتم شروع به بیشتر و بدتر شدن کرد، مخصوصاً وقتی مست بود. یولیا برای خودش و دخترش می ترسید، اما نمی دانست چیکار می‌تونه بکنه.

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.

وقتی بالاخره یولیا مجبور شد با دست شکسته به اورژانس بیمارستان بره، بهش گفتن که خشونت خانگی در پرتغال یه مسأله و مشکل بزرگه. اونها این رو هم گفتن که این یک جرمه و باید به پلیس گزارش بده.

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.


A sad-looking woman with a broken arm watching a little girl playing.

یولیا خسته شده بود و نمی خواست دختر کوچیکش تو خونه ای بزرگ بشه که هر روز شاهد خشونت باشه. یولیا متوجه شد که نشانه‌های سوءاستفاده و آزار و اذیت در تمام مدت وجود داشته، حتی اگر به شکل متفاوتی بوده.

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.


A woman holding a girl in her arms and thinking of birds tweeting.

یولیا به یک پناهگاه زنان رفت، جایی که احساس امنیت بیشتری داشت نسبت به قبل که برای یک مدت طولانی امنیت نداشت. از همون زمانی که صبح با صدای پرنده‌ها از خواب بیدار می‌شد، چنین احساسی نداشت.

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.
