How can she explain to the rest of the world that a man who was supposed to protect and shield her took something from her without her consent? She is not the first nor the last. Instead of being comforted, she is belittled and shamed by society and is constantly reminded that it is 'all her fault'.
How am l supposed to look my younger brothers straight in the eyes when there are mistreating girls at such a young age? They must be trying to mimic the 'love' our father gave to our mother. How do l explain to my younger sisters that some, if not most men can not take N-O for an answer so she has to pat their ego and play along to just to live to see another day? How do l explain to her that love is not being banged against the wall every time your partner is 'drunk' or doesn't get his way when our neighbor chooses to stay and society chooses to 'mind their own business'?

How do l explain to her that HER COUNTY failed to protect her and the man in charge of doing so considers being RAPED BY ONE PERSON "LUCKY".
