Unspoken Fears
Sexual / Reproductive Health

Seema, 28 [Female]

What do I say? It happened . . . and I am 28 and still cannot move beyond it. Why didn't my parents recognize the signs? Why was I afraid to say anything to anyone? I believed I would be blamed. But he kept touching me and I asked him to stop, I cried, I begged. Nothing. I am older now and have moved far away. I am not running away - I am protecting myself, because my parents could not.  
 
This cannot keep happening to me and my sisters. I know its everywhere, but we need to start doing something now in our own families. We have to talk and be honest. Never be ashamed.
