La Trifulca III. Five Billion Dollar. A Trilogy (2019)

Приюты Магдалины в Ирландии содержались сестрами милосердия под покровительством католической церкви. Попадая сюда из семей или сиротских приютов, молодые девушки оказывались в условиях, близких тюремному заключению. Тяжелой работой в прачечных они должны были искупать свои грехи. Грехом, заслуживающим такого искупления, могло стать что угодно: материнство вне брака или слишком откровенная красота. Или столь же вызывающее уродство. Или глупость, или ум, или несчастье стать жертвой насилия и иметь неосторожность рассказать об этом. За эти грехи они бесплатно работали 364 дня в году, полуголодные, подвергаемые телесным наказаниям и унижениям. Их насиловали, и у них отнимали детей. Это заключение было бессрочным.

Throughout the Islamic world, each year hundreds of women are shot, stabbed, strangled or burned to death by male relatives because they are thought to have “dishonoured” their families. They may have lost their virginity, refused an arranged marriage or left an abusive husband. Even if a woman is raped or merely the victim of gossip, she must pay the price. Crimes of Honour documents the terrible reality of femicide – the belief that a girl’s body is the property of the family, and any suggestion of sexual impropriety must be cleansed with her blood. We meet women in hiding from their families, a brother who describes his reasons for killing the sister he loved, and a handful of women who have committed themselves to the protection of young women in danger of losing their lives.
