Dear V, I came across your story.… While looking for legal terms for a translation!! Strangely, I read it all, and I wanted to praise your courage and maturity when you are only 21 or 22. With two girls (I’m 33) you can imagine how such a story moved me.… All the best, Jean

June 26th, 10:55pm. Dear Jean, Thank you for taking the time to write to me and I really appreciate your kind words. I never thought that I would correspond with so many women after writing the article. It goes to show, unfortunately, that stories like mine are not particularly unique. There are a lot of people who feel like the violence I experienced is familiar to them. They see it in their personal lives, the communities they live in, or in their countries. It’s overwhelming how common sexual violence against women is. I hope that the increasing awareness campaigns can help reduce it. Anyway, I have done a lot of work to “move on,” and I am in a much happier place now. There is pain after violence, of course, but there is so much good left in the world. There is a life of happiness. Thank you so much for your congratulations! I don’t take enough time to stop and think about how far I’ve come from my low point. This message made my night. Be well. Sincerely, V
