Sexual violence stories

 There is so much stigma associated with sexual violence.

This scenario becomes more complex in cases where one is sexually violated in a party or by someone one they are closely  familiar with.

Reason being that the society will always find ways of blaming the survivor for having brought the sexual assault upon themselves.

This stigma has resulted in  many victims not seeking help for fear of further ostracization.

This need not be the case as there is website that i recently stumbled on that provides survivors of sexual violence a platform to share their experience. This in itself provides healing

sexual violence stories
"Sharing your personal story of domestic violence, sexual assault, or sexual abuse is excruciatingly difficult. It’s also therapeutic, and helps others see their own situations in a new light. We do accept anonymous submissions — we just ask that you make it clear within your post WHY you need to be anonymous, as this is so often an enlightening part of the story itself."
If you feel safe enough to share your story, click on this link:
