Furaha

Furaha by cyclopsr.
Dette er Furaha (24). Furaha betyr glede, men de siste årene har det ikke vært så lett å leve opp til navnet.
Første gang Furaha ble voldtatt var hjemme, av fire Interahamwe-soldater. Mannen hennes forlot henne etter voldtekten.
Andre gang hun ble voldtatt var hun i åkeren, denne gang av tre soldater. Voldtekten gjorde henne gravid, og hun fødte lille Rachel.
Furaha har fistel. Hun holder seg mest inne i hytta, både av frykt og av skam.

This is Furaha (24). Furaha means happiness, but for the last few years, life has not had many similarities with her name.
First time Furaha was raped was at home, by four Interahamwe rebels. Her husband left her after the rape.
The second rape was by three soldiers, and happened when she was in her field. The rape made her pregnant, and she gave birth to little Rachel.
Furaha is suffering from fistula. She stays most of the time inside her simple house, both because of fear, and because of shame.
