Why I didn’t report my rapist — BBNaija’s Khafi

#WhyIDidntReport – because he apologised right after. Because I made myself believe him being drunk was an excuse. Because the one person I did tell said I caused it. Because I felt dirty and ashamed. #WeAreTired

Being in a relationship I didn’t expect it to happen, I was pressured into their pleasure rather than respect my own values.
A year of downplaying the problem with dark humour I didn’t realise the hypersexualised effect it had on me and how i lost myself #whyididntreport

#whyididntreport i didn’t even know it was sexual assault when it occurred (twice). i had to repeat myself to friends who could see the situations for what they were. women are socialized to give into the needs/wants of men before considering their own feelings.

#WhyIDidntReport I CONVINCED myself that it didn’t happen, because if it did then I’d be bringing shame & embarrassment to my family.
Woman don’t have a voice to speak up about such abuse in the Indian community without it being seen as TARNISHING the REPUTATION of the family.
