Being believed about being raped 4 Having people willing to listen. Even one person. Having a partner whom I can rely on. Playing on the piano. The aftermath lasts forever.
Rape is a gender motivated hate crime.
The lifestyle of the victim before the crime happened is irrevelant. The effects last longer than one night. Rape happens, survivors exist, we do not make it up. Needing someone to listen, understand, reassure and not cast judgement. No matter how horrible the attack we must be believed and heard.
