Muna arrived in the UK in 1995 and is originally from Somalia. She fled to the UK as a refugee and suffered immense trauma through her experience. Muna married in the UK and soon after her marriage started to suffer domestic abuse and violence from her husband. She had no family to confide in and did not want to speak out to friends about her abusive experience as she felt 'ashamed'. She also felt that her close ones would persuade her to continue with her marriage as it would bring shame onto the community. Muna was aware of JAN Trust's support for women suffering domestic violence and decided one day she wanted to speak out to a neutral party and so visited the organisation. When Muna arrived at JAN Trust she was depressed, unhappy, lacked confidence and social skills. Two years on, with the support of JAN Trust, Muna has left her severely abusive relationship, gained new skills and is a much more confident woman and now feels a sense of self worth. She is currently working as a care worker and volunteers her time to support other women suffering from domestic abuse and violence.
