<h2>After carrying out sensitization in my community creating awareness on the dangers of silence for those undergoing violence of any form,I came across this young 23 year old girl who has been traumatized with th things happening to her since she was 7 years old. She was repeatedly raped and had no voice to speak because it was an act do e by family members who threatened to kill her if she voiced it to anyone she has a baby as a consequence of that during my sensitization she came up personally to me and explained her story and during this 16 days activism coming up next week,I with her consent will be carrying out more sensitization on GBV in my community while I am currently seeking for help to empower her so she can help herself and her baby which is her greatest cry</h2>
