Nadine Josile, 19.
There were six of them who entered the shelter. They covered my eyes with a blindfold and raped me one after another." Nadine recalls. "I was paralyzed. It was only few days after I had lost everyone, except my son who was born a few months before the earthquake struck. They were stepping on him. I remember him crying while they were raping me. Perhaps because of this trauma he has not started walking yet. Those criminals ruined my life for the second time. The first time, the earthquake came and took everything from me, left me with nothing, I ran out of the house with only what I had on me. And then they came, and left nothing out of me. I don't know what I will do when this child will be born. I hardly get any food for me and for my first child. Sometimes it seems I will have to kill him, sometimes I ask God to end my life. But when these thoughts hit me, I embrace my son and know he needs me. Perhaps the child that was conceived in sin will bring us luck."
