Reclaiming our Gender, our Sexuality and our Power...
#theunshamingproject
Is for women who believe that they are inferior and don’t deserve love and respect…
… and wonder why they feel so shamed?
Is for women who abandon their own sexuality…
… and wonder what they did to deserve this?
Is for women who continue accepting abuse in the name of honour
… and hope that Allah will reward them in the afterlife

Looking inside the mind of my perpetrators?
Was my perpetrator looking for some sexual gratification and I was an easy target? How did he convince himself that touching me was the “right” thing to do? #sexualabuse #childabuse #ptsd #csa
Can we Punish and Forgive at the same time?
When #punishment comes from the place of “#revenge”, it’s all about the #victim. They feel that by making the #perpetrators suffer, they will feel better and somehow their troubles will go away.
