Eliza Kaskow, a former Witness poses for a portrait in Warsaw, Poland on 06 January, 2026. Eliza hasn't spoken to her brother in the 5 years since she left her congregation. Neither she or her parents, who also left the religion, have been able to be in contact with him. Witnesses are strictly forbidden from speaking with former Witnesses, a practice that carries immense social costs according to victims. (Photo by Jaap Arriens/NurPhoto)
