Description

Without Mercy: A Woman's Struggle Against Modern Slavery tells the story of Miriam Kamouhi's fight against an abusive relationship and her struggle to reclaim her daughters, sold into marriage in Yemen.

Miriam met Muthana Muhsen in Birmingham in 1960, when she was 17. Despite never marrying, they had seven children together, with the two eldest being sent to Yemen for a holiday in 1966. It wasn't until their mother's health began to decline and her financial situation worsened that Miriam would finally meet her daughters again as adults.

This powerful account provides a glimpse into the complex web of relationships, cultural expectations, and bureaucratic challenges that can trap women in situations of modern slavery.
