It's 18 years this week since a man I met through my #journalism raped me. I found words to explore and explain my hurt and wrote this poem. It's not easy to read but #writing is very important for my #mentalhealth and my work #metoo 📷 #endvawg #16DaysOfActivismAgainstGBV #poetry
A quick message to anyone else that has also experienced rape
1. I believe you
2. It was never your fault
3. You have nothing to be ashamed about
Speaking out to help end the shame, stigma and silence surrounding sexual violence
