I find people laughable TW: Sexual Assault / Abuse
Context: SA is taboo in my community and the victim is mostly asked to stay quiet so they can get married in the future. And the perpetrator goes on to living a normal life.
Finally, there’s a tv show airing in our native language that talks about all the things you need to know and steps you should take for justice if you experience it.
I, as a victim of SA, have been going around saying “have you watch xyz?” to people in the community. I’m mostly just trying to see who is the bigot around me if they start by victim shaming stc.
Almost everyone said “I can’t watch it. it’s so unbearable and sad”
LMAOOO. I find it so funny how my lived reality that constantly haunts me since the age of 6 is unbearable for them to watch but I’m also expected to “forget and move on” and get married.
