I have heard of many stories from during the war where women and men have been sexually assaulted and raped by people who were fighting during the time, but this story really shocked me. A CBS reporter was in Egypt covering a celebration that was taking place because a president in Egypt had just resigned.
She was told that she needed to get out of there, but soon enough she was surrounded by so many men that she could not even think about escaping. She describes what happened to her and that she had so many different hands touching her and hitting her with objects that she honestly thought she was going to die.
This attack went on for about 25 minutes, which I can only imagine felt like more than a lifetime. I can't even begin to think about what this would be like, but I know that it would be nothing less than traumatic. I think it is very brave of her to talk about her experience because like it says in the article, she is breaking the silence for all of the women that this has happened to.
