“I wanted to scream he took my mouth and he threatened me with death,” said the mother of four, who was abandoned by her husband after she became disabled in a motorcycle accident several years ago.The 42-year-old mother of four had fled war in eastern Congo.Like many other displaced single mothers, the 42-year-old mother-of-four is struggling to feed her family and is unsure when she might return home.
