We totally agree that rape is something that is hard for people to understand. There are many myths around rape and it is only when we start talking about it that we begin to dispel the myths.

One of the myths is that it is up to women to stop any kind of violence against them or that they are weak or somehow at fault if they are not able to stop it. The responsibility really falls on the person who is trying to take control and take advantage of women. It is definitely not your fault and it takes a lot of courage to talk about your experience.

I'm sure other survivors reading your comments will gain strength & knowledge from you sharing your experience. Perhaps you have helped reduce the feeling of isolation that is often felt by survivors of rape.

If you'd like to talk more about this or with someone else in your area, please email us.
