Sexual violence( Ochanya's Case)
Ochanya, a girl just 13 years of age, a girl yet to understand what she is doing in this world, a girl yet to identify what,that very parts of her body was made for.
Ochanya, whose aunt took from her parents was turned into a sex slave by her son and husband since she was 8. Since then,she has been raped through her anus and Virgina. Hence, caused a serious medical complications.
On her hospital bed, she kept a steady gaze on the faces she knew, the faces she once trusted, faces she once loved, faces she looked up to for protection.....but now, they are face she feared so much. She asked"could this be a nightmare? If it is, it is far higher than my young mind ". She is so scared, scared of those faces she wished she shouldn't have seen ever again, but somehow, they kept on appearing with horror as she close her eyes to sleep on her sick bed.
She cried,when she remembered years of excruciating pains of betrayal and hurt from the people she look up to.
In her pain, she bemoaned the brutal loss of her innocence.
She was scared, scared of the new faces that stare at her with love and care. Her eyes dripping wet with tears as she wondered if she will walk out from that hospital alive. She asked" where were these new faces when the men I trusted where defiling my innocence steadily? Where were they when she prayed and willed for miracle? The World kept silent!
She knew it will be painful living with that memory, but she fought and wished to live anyways. So as to be a strong voice for potential victims in future.
The pain to experience two adults who forcefully defiled her world and left her travelling alone to a journey of no return.
Ochanya died because the world kept silent.
