This was honestly the hardest hitting episode I've ever seen. I am a male, but I was raped many times in my neighborhood where I grew up by this man and his nephew for years. When his wife caught him in the act, they turned me into the one who asked for it and my piece of shit dad forced me to write an apology letter to the family. Edit: I typed this crying in the middle of the video, this woman is so unbelievably strong. I'm so proud of her. This shit home for me more than anything has in a very long time. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you can reach it too. What she said about choosing good and positive activities means so much to me. It rings so true. God I love this channel.

Yes I hope so too, she deserves all the help our societies can give as she is a victim of horrible crimes against her. What happened to her was not her fault and even from strangers like ourselves this must be expressed. The anti humans that did this to her deserve to be castrated and locked up for the rest of their lives. Having that said, I do believe there is an element of guilt in her behaviour. Not reporting the rape the way it should have been (the police involved need to be held accountable too and massively!! both for the continued damage to her and possible victims after her), not reporting all the other assaults.. no doubt have caused the same or similar experiences for other women in the period after. Yes we can all become victim, yes we can all make mistakes and wrong decisions, but this doesnt clear us from our responsibilities and the result of those.

A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence.

Surah 9:5: "Then kill the disbelievers (non-Muslims) wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush …" Apostasy is considered punishable by death in Islam. The proof of this are the following Hadith: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said “Whoever changes his religion, execute him.” (Bukhari, 2794). What is meant by religion here is Islam (i.e., whoever changes from Islam to another religion).

Then I confronted the instigator, I told him I do NOT want anything from you or your friends, don't talk to me anymore, don't joke about me anymore, this is sexual harrasment, I do NOT feel safe around you, and I will NOT tolorate this anymore, the next time I will report you. He had the gall to feel attacked and offendend, told me I "wasn't his type". After I confronted all of these men they all STOPPED talking to me completely, it was like the only words they could utter was about sex. So because they couldn't talk about sex, there was nothing to talk about. After this I stayed MILES away from any and all co-workers, because not a SINGLE person told these people to stop the "joking", not one.

I’m so sorry for you, really, cause i’ve been through the exact SAME, I was 18 and it took me 2 yrs to stop making excuses for what my at the time ex-boyfriend did. He even hit me in the process and told me to shut up, i anally bled several times that week and was so hurt to my core… i was shattered and not once called it rape, never thought about police either, i just thought that i was mad at myself, confused, that maybe i didn’t fight enough. I’ve been like that for months until my parents decided to move me to another country - cause i was depressed they did not know why - where i spent 2 years before telling a friend what really happened and she told me that it was in fact rape and from that moment on I was shocked, cried a lot, and looked for therapy, which helped a lot, also now i have a boyfriend that treats me like a princess, who loves me and respects me and my traumas, he’s been so patient through every panic attack i had during sex in the beginning of our now 5yrs relationship. It saddened me a lot to read your comment cause i know that pain and i just want you to know that therapy and truly loving people that respect us can help the healing process, i hope you’re doing ok and know that you’re not alone. ❤️🥺

She was so vulnerable and just innocent and they took away a large chunk of her life, they took away her dignity and made her blame herself, make her feel like she has no self-respect or worth and that to me is soul crushing. How can these men have treated her like she was not even a human being - these gangs happen all across the country, the response she got from the police was absolutely horrific, they never take some of the most heinous crimes seriously. Every single one of these evil pieces of scum should be serving life in prison and I hope they are brutalised and terrorised. They do not deserve to enjoy even an ounce of their lives ever again. They’re beyond animalistic, they’re evil. I hope she’s doing well, I hope she’s happy and realises none of this was every her fault. I hope she has a good support system.

I stopped having anything to do with them, although there was a lot of them calling me out because of it. I had to move away because a lot of times, the police don't want to do any actual investigation work. I reported them a few times but all that happened was I was ostracised. I bet a lot of men out there know of others who should have stood up for a woman? I used to pay for their taxis home if they were out of it. I felt so much better for it. In my eyes, a good man overcomes his insecurities and helps others (both men and women). I've also had a partner who came from something like this. Sadly I realised that a lot of parents do nothing to help their kids. Some people don't have parents. It's a messed up world.
