INSIDE GLORIAVALE: Pregnant or Breastfeeding for 22 Years Straight (a Woman’s Harsh Reality)

Born and raised inside New Zealand's isolated Gloriavale religious community, Ginny was taught that a woman's purpose was to obey, marry, and have as many children as possible. After entering an arranged marriage at 20, she spent approximately 22 years pregnant or breastfeeding while enduring relentless work demands, strict expectations, and limited reproductive freedom. But when her teenage daughter became the target of horrific mistreatment, Ginny and her husband faced an impossible choice: remain loyal to the only world they'd ever known or risk everything to protect their family. Now a mother of 11, she shares how they escaped with 10 children, the painful realities of starting over, and her ongoing fight for accountability.
