In article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” the theme of violence is exhausted. Through the lens of the personal experience of three women, we look at three fundamental themes: violence, self-determination and emancipation.
