In 2013 I was raped. I tried to report the rapist, but it didn’t work. It was difficult to find an organisation to help. It almost crushed me. I stayed home and cried for a whole year before finding this organisation.

While volunteering here, I realized I wasn’t the only victim and that there were victims even worse off than me. Now, I help them.

The women, the mothers, the raped in our community, we can’t speak in front of men. The name of our organisation obscures the fact that women coming here are victims of rape.

The women who come regularly are only a small percentage of women who have been victims of rape. Most are terrified to tell their husbands, fearing divorce. The women come to me and little by little, they open up.
