Thank you so much for reading and commenting!!! I really appreciate it. It is truly devastating. My heart is also with the many women in Sudan who have been experiencing sexual violence as the world looks on in silence </3
It is unsurprising, given the lack of attention the media has given to Israeli victims of rape following 10/7, but the scale on which this is being ignored through the ongoing genocide in Sudan as well is startling. I'm praying for a world where all people are free from the threat of sexual violence - it's a horror that no one should ever have to experience. And as you said, to experience or witness something so horrific creates wounds that are intractably difficult to heal from.
