I was having drinks with a trusted friend. Was I asking for it?
I didn't make a police report. Does that mean I secretly liked it?
In this video, a Singaporean woman opens up about her trauma of getting raped at 19, how she struggled to overcome it while watching her rapist lead a normal life, and why she is choosing to take action 5 years later.
-

This is just sad that no one in the original friend group stood up for her or said something. It's on each one of us to stand by those close to us in the face of these kind of traumatising incidents.

@John_Smith_86 Год назад

Her (fairly typical) response to being raped made them more distrustful of her. If she had chosen to make a police report instead, which many victims don't, then people will trust her account more.

@trevorthai1685 Год назад

It’s really very sad that this happened, especially the fact that her main clique of friends didn’t even try to support her and neglected her feelings and mental health. It’s even more important now for victims to seek trusted help immediately and go to official agencies like AWARE and/or the police and for their immediate support group to be there for her mentally. It’s even sadder that many of these cases - 7/10 go unreported 😢

Sad to hear. Lessons to be taken. Be careful who you drink with and let into your room. If your friends brush it off after sharing with them, then they are not good friends and you should seek new friends.

I think honestly the saddest part of her "clique" were not her friends at all. Not anyone was helping her and just brush it off. This is just so sad.

@Trgn Год назад

Unis and schools need to educate youths more about their rights and steps to take when these things happen. Too many times these subjects are not talked about enough at schools and at home, and when it happens are often swept under the rugs by unis and institutions to protect their reputation. First step for victims to take is to go to a rape, assaulted victim support and eventually contact police when comfortable.

@John_Smith_86 Год назад

Disagree. If you go to the police only when you are comfortable, then you are no longer entitled to justice. If you want help from others, do your part first.

@bestfunnycompilations9892 Год назад

My girlfriend's best friend raped her and she told me, but she didn't want to report him to police b/c it would ruin his life and I was mad at the guy but she was like no don't hurt him, so I'm like wtf and we eventually broke up and she forgave him eventually and still is friends with him , kinda crazy I never understood this logic

It is very sad that this is happening so commonly and not alot can be done about it. Granted it is not the victims fault for not reporting as it is extremely traumatic to even think about such an incident, let alone having to be questioned by the police. Also yes there is a test for DNA for rape cases known as a 'rape kit' test in most countries.

@gwstws Год назад

Don't misunderstand a girl's action and blame them at the end. No means no. Really need courage to make a report directly after the incident. This is the main reason why many cases just happened and no action was taken. This causes more and more ppl dare to do it.

Listen to this about reporting remind me of WW2 in Asia, the comfort woman never get the apologize from the Japanese that they wanted till they died. The last alive comfort woman had been died but the story and the trauma still stay. Hopefully the WW2 place and items still remains as a reminder for the future generation. Those women who stand out need a lot of courage and support to be able to tell the public they are victim.

@jasonlai1892 Год назад

Ladies need to have courage to send those men to 20 years jail so that they knew they wont be able to get away from it. They will in turn be raped repeatedly inside. Then they will know how it feel to be victim themselves. Your silence will only raise their ego and be bullies to others. Who know you might be a victim of other men again. Have courage, be serious, then the police will take you seriously. As to your aggressors, dont worry. Let the interrogators do their job, they will make sure they confess. But 1st you must make sure the police take you seriously. By asking them for updates.

@rtxmax8223 Год назад

The man who did this needs to be charged with imprisonment. The world is not a safe place and you have to guard yourself at all times, ladies. Dont indulge in such activities where your safety is compromised. Do not drink with males who are outside your relationship.

@celestialstar124 Год назад

Doesn't campus have rules that doesn't allow guys in girl's dorm? I hope all girls don't allow any guy to break this rule. You need to be brave and seek for justice for yourself. May he be punished by law and you can walk out of the bad experience soon.

Or is just a camp to have “fun” ? Who knows, oh well, if you don take care of yourselves, who will? The guys whom you trust and drink with ?

Maybe men don’t agree, but even if she did cheat, no one deserves to be fucking raped. It’s very weird to find rape an appropriate punishment for anything.

@zinenaim2732 Год назад

Avoiding the problem is the best solution. She won't win the case because it is just not obvious. First, she was drunk and she said she blacked out, and then she let the boy in her room. i know that it's the boys' fault, but she's not an innocent child, she's an adult. She knows that being drunk with a boy in a room is, 80% of the time, going to lead you both to making some bad decisions. i suggest to every girl reading this to not wear clothes that are reveling, it not cute it's sexy and that will not attract adoration but lust. And obviously do not drink alcohol with a boy or multiple boys Cuz you might regret what you'll do or what will happen to you. i advice you to leave alcohol totally. for both genders.

You can’t relate to a rape victim? Btw a boyfriend who makes your rape all about his hurt feelings, a self-obsessed man who who doesn’t feel protective or concerned about your feelings when you’re assaulted so terribly is not a person worth keeping around.

The girl said no, means she is sober enough to give consent or not. The guy is definitely sober in the mind to even say "He won't find out" when she told him she is attached. It takes some level of decision making skills to come up with that right? Since they were both in the same clique, is it fair to say that the rapist knew beforehand she is already attached? So I can say with prejudice that he was looking for an opportunity to rape her and took the chance that they were both drinking alcohol to set this up? I believe you can 200% blame the damn culprit.
