Survivor Revival

Send us a text

Laura is a Survivor. In part two of this two-part episode, we continue where we left off at the end of Part One as Laura continues to share her heartbreaking story of growing up as a "gypsy" girl in Scotland at the hands of an abusive father, being prostituted to raise money for the family and left with the undeserved responsibility of caring for her siblings at a very young age.

Experiencing the injustice of being robbed of her childhood because her father and other relatives abused her and "sent her out" to get money for the family, and ultimately having autonomy over her own body stripped from her.
