YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"We want to be free." That's the message of an increasing number of women in the Philippines, who are trapped in marriages they cannot escape. That's because divorce is illegal in the Catholic majority country.
The only other place in the world, where this is the case, is the Vatican.
