I want to create awareness about this incident so that I can find justice and peace & these men can be arrested. I know many people who have been raped and do not speak up, but I chose to speak up because I am now safely back in my country.  ———————————- We are honoured that this brave woman opted to speak to us. While the media has carried her story already, we believe that the complete narrative has been missing from the published stories. We chose to publish this story because many Sri Lankan women undergo similar situations on a daily basis, intimidated into sexual intercourse, violently raped and still living with scars that will not go away without a proper reporting mechanism in place. We don’t report the heinous crimes committed against us as women. Maybe this story of this one brave girl who has endured so much in the span of a few months in Sri Lanka will give all of us the strength to no longer be quiet about these violent situations that we encounter, read and hear about. Perhaps her story will help us all find the courage to come forth in spite of  the persecutions and judgment we may face in the process of getting justice. Especially in a culture that tells us to turn the other cheek or not bring shame on our families for admitting that we were raped.TEAM BENDR, July 2019Source:<a href="https://bendr.home.blog/2019/07/10/tourist-raped-by-lankan-politician/?fbclid=IwAR17dbqqLX3r-tkhX6wok-p_DH3Bw_skhM9ZSYxD2-iF-imnn0ppdXMnbBA" target="_blank">https://bendr.home.blog/2019/07/10/tourist-raped-by-lankan-politician/?fbclid=IwAR17dbqqLX3r-tkhX6wok-p_DH3Bw_skhM9ZSYxD2-iF-imnn0ppdXMnbBA</a>me siddiya atta da? </blockquote>
