Two Carinthian women lived under the same roof as their abusers for years. They now tell the "Krone" about their years of martyrdom and their new lives.

"Going to the women's shelter was the best thing that could have happened to me. It helped me through the worst time of my life," says Karin (name changed by the editors) in an interview with "Kärntner Krone". That time was over ten years ago.
