I was raped by my boyfriend at the time, and 5 of his friends, when I was 18. It happened in a hotel in London where I live, and although it was 22 years ago I’ve never been able to go near the hotel -it’s really well known. But, now after watching Brave Miss World, I’ve decided that I need to see it to help with my healing process
I have a wonderful boyfriend who I’ve been with for four years now who has offered to come with me for support.
Thanks to you and the other amazing women on your film I finally, after 22 years, feel strong enough to do it. Thank you so much and I’ll let you know how I get on.
Thank you for your post. We’re glad that Brave Miss World is helping you along the path of healing. Please tell your supportive boyfriend that we think he’s a hero for going with you. As a friend said to us the other day, “Trace, Face, and Erase.” We wish you a lot of strength. You are #IAmBrave! Love from Cecilia & the Brave Miss World team.
You are so brave to face this, I cannot tell you enough how proud I am of you! I know for me revisiting the place I was raped was both terrifying and healing. I knew I was safe now.
Please do let us know,
With love
