How Did You Survive? A Call to Daily Beast Readers
Millions are raped or assaulted every day. The Daily Beast invites readers to share their own stories.
Reading about the fatal gang-rape of an Indian woman, The Daily Beast’s Rula Jebreal recalled the painful memories of her own mother’s horrific ordeal. The physical and psychological trauma. The culture of silence. “Tragically,” Jubreal writes, “there are millions of stories similar to hers.”
“What happened to my mother happens to millions of women every day around the world. In many places, it’s a crime that is swept under the rug.”
Let’s lift that rug.
