ENDING THE SILENCE

Rape is a horrible  event that can be avoided through empowering people with information and offering them a platform to speak of the atrocities.
Jemima was raped and for over two months kept it to herself not knowing how to go about it. This though was killing her. this was until she reacted violently to a boy during a football fun game at school. A teacher noticed it and it would later turn out to be a long recount of how she got raped by a neighbour, such stories coming late doesnt help the situation one bit. Now thanks to the sita kimya programme, rape cases can not only br reported early but also victims get a chance to be catered to professionally. This has also helped shell out new rape cases as the vulnerable are fed with vital information.
