Woman Takes a Selfie Every Day to Document the Worst Year of Her Life ...
By Olga • Nov 2, 2014

1 in 4 women will experience a form of domestic violence in their lifetimes.

Whether it's physical or emotional, abusers leave their victims feeling helpless, ashamed and worthless. To raise awareness, a Serbian ad agency created a PSA back in 2013 called “One photo a day in the worst year of my life." In it, a woman takes a photo every day for a year to document the abuse she has endured.

The woman's face looks fine at first, but as time goes on, bruises and black eyes appear on her face and neck. At the end, she holds a sign that reads "Help me, I don't know if i will be here tomorrow." And it's true - according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one third of all female homicide victims died at the hands of their partners.

Although this video went viral a year ago, the message still resonates for this National Domestic Abuse Awareness Month. It's an epidemic and it shouldn't be swept under the rug any longer.

    Nightmare. My ex-husband liked to express his anger with his fists and, once I was down, with his feet. Plus the mental and emotional torture was unending. It's been 25 years since I left him but I'll never forget the pain. Any man tries that crap with a friend or family will not get away as easily as my ex.

    My best friend's husband killed her over fifty years ago and he was never charged. I'm not sure things are any better now.

    This is so disturbing. a lot of us suffer in silence and pretend it never happened because we are ashamed we let it happen. Even one day of abuse can affect you forever. You are never the same you were before any of it.

    It's amazing how brave this woman is. I spent a year being sexually abused and I regret not informing and getting help about it. It's time people stand up to this crap

    I was her. For 9 years of my life I was stuck living through domestic violence. I was in hospitals on a monthly basis and I was beaten every day. Remember that domestic abuse isn't just relationships, it's also family whatever that means anymore. Girls ... guys we may all be victims ... but never ever put up with it. Don't deal with it and let it happen to you. No one deserves that treatment. We are each beautiful people that deserves love. Let yourself be loved because there will always be someone that does. Never put up with it

    Whoa, chill Danjela. I'm sure she didn't mean it as a joke, abuse isn't a joke. But it is amazing and courages that a woman would openly let us into her private world and show us what's she's been enduring for a year, or maybe even more. How many abused woman do you know would do this? I don't know any, I know what an abused woman looks like but if she doesn't want help what can we do?
