I'm so sorry that this happened. No one should ever have to witness this, let alone experience it.

[vapidgasconade]

I'm so sorry you were put in this horrible situation, no one should have to go through that.

You didn't deserve this. Nobody does. I'm so sorry 😞.
Thank you for sharing your story, I know it must be hard to talk about, but your voice should be heard.

I commend the bravery it took to get thought the horrors of the war.
It makes the abuse I suffered at the hands of my ex. small in comparison.
I live in America, in Southern California in relative comfort. I can’t imagine living in brutal, war torn conditions.
What meant the most was her final words about forgiveness. That she could come out of the brutally. As a survivor she says, ” most of all I feel super lucky.” “ I realize I have a huge obligation now. I feel and I have dedicated myself, out of free will, to be the voice of the ones that have been silent. For all the children that go missing, for all the people that go missing, It’s been my greatest mission to raise awareness, but most of all, because I was so destroyed, I have learned so much love from it and kindness. And hence why I just want to really express the love and kindness I feel for any human race, for anyone because it’s only then I think through love and kindness we can heal others and heal ourselves. So yeah, it’s quite a privilege to be alive.” Her words were like a message from the divine. Showing my path to forgive my transgressers

I always heard about how dangerous is black market but I never knew it was this bad and terrible. I feel so disgusted, and I feel so sorry for all the girls that went through the same experience.
