A Father's Story:

"He had her almost controlled… I knew something wasn’t right, but I didn’t know she was being abused.

All my life I tried to protect her. I was there, I’d always been there for her, but I couldn’t save her.

[Our family wants] the world to know how serious domestic violence is, and how it hurts so many lives. It can happen to anyone.

I’m only one man in a big world, but I want to be Ameya’s voice."
