Story
I am fundraising for Rape Crisis England & Wales to stand in solidarity with victims and survivors of sexual violence.
This charity paid for the first six months of my sessions with my incredible therapist.
Men, women, other gender identities, and children are the victims of sexual violence every single day.
I have a painful personal story starting from when I was still a little girl. I am now a non-binary rape and sexual assault survivor who thought that, because it happened so many times, it was my fault. It was never my fault.
It's through the work of this charity I have come to understand myself and the powerful effect of sexual trauma dating back to childhood.
It's grim. But this stream will also be a celebration - of survival, and expression, and hopefully showing victims that there is a light within them that isn't ever dulled by the actions of their abusers.
There will be rats being cute also.
