Our community was attacked by the insurgents. My dad was killed. My family fled our hometown to the IDP camp. I was 13 at the time.

People say that it’s my fault that I was raped.

The officer was transferred, and my mother refused to follow up the case. People laugh at me. They say I kept going back. It makes me angry. It makes me sad.
