Mothers flee gunfire with infants in their arms. Girls are raped, boys are forced to fight and families go hungry, but the world looks away. Imagine walking for days and nights to escape gunfire. You carry your child in your arms, guiding them through the darkness to avoid drone attacks. You have no food, no water, and nowhere safe to go.

Marta, who lost her son to a dissident armed group, pleaded with officers for his release, facing threats instead. Hundreds of mothers share her plight.
