These are reasons some rape victims don't speak... The fear of being labelled a liar or flirt.
A South African rape victim, Ndumi, took to Twitter to narrate how her parents neglected her after she told them she was raped. Her mother went far as calling her a liar and both parents have stopped speaking with her ever since the incident occurred. Read her tweets below...
Mom said the reason why I was raped is because I'm too friendly with men— Ndumi? (@Zarbznguni) September 2, 2017
This was literally running through my head the whole time while I was smoking with a male friend of mine just now...— Ndumi? (@Zarbznguni) September 2, 2017
So what do I do now? Stay away from men completely? Mind you she'll expect me to marry a man soon— Ndumi? (@Zarbznguni) September 2, 2017
It's so stressful. My parents aren't even talking to me right now because of this. It's funny because mom actually said I'm lying about it— Ndumi? (@Zarbznguni) September 2, 2017
On some days in some moments I can take my parents not having my back. But right now I'm breaking— Ndumi? (@Zarbznguni) September 2, 2017
I'm the one that was violated but my parents are making me tip toe around them and their feelings when it comes to this matter— Ndumi? (@Zarbznguni) September 2, 2017
My comfort lies in the fact that there's no tear that God does not see. He will make a way— Ndumi? (@Zarbznguni) September 2, 2017
Some of her male followers replied,saying her mom was right as girls that stay at home don't get raped.
She's not wrong though— Jewish Attorney (@Jrie_C) September 3, 2017
Girls don't get raped when they stay Put in their house
Some girls are raped by their grandfathers, uncles,cousins, brothers, and even fathers. What do you say about them? https://t.co/nPLtKYmrmw— Ndumi? (@Zarbznguni) September 3, 2017
