The Adventures of Little Red Riding

Ask me anything!   Submit   I'm a 22 year old who graduated from a wonderful small liberal arts college. I was a sociology and gender studies double major. I still have quite the passion for my studies and plan to pursue them. I'm a social justice lover and I am passionate about running, reading, breathing, being healthy, and maintaining my personal happiness. I love my friends, my family, and Alpha Delta Pi, Delta Rho. This blog depicts my ambitions, goals, emotions, and beliefs. "I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed. As for the body, it is solid and strong and curious and full of detail; it wants to polish itself; it wants to love another body; it is the only vessel in the world that can hold, in a a mix of power and sweetness: words, song, gesture, passion, ideas, ingenuity, devotion, merriment, vanity, and virtue. Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable." (Mary Oliver) I am somebody. I am me. I like being me. And I need nobody to make me somebody.

‘Take your portion’: A victim speaks out about rape in Syria →

grrrl-riot:

During dark sessions over a period of 38 days, guards whipped her with a wire, strung her alternatively by her wrists and feet, and injected the crook of her elbow twice a day with a kind of drug that made her feel high, she says. The things Abdulrahman recalls the men saying as they allegedly raped her multiple times were so filthy she is loath to repeat them — “it’s too dirty and too low” — although she remembers them saying, “Here is the freedom you wanted” (a phrasesimilar to ones other women have reported hearing while being raped in Syria). And she can summon up at least one face. And a couple of names.

Within an hour of her arrival at the detention center in Harasta, about 7 miles (12 kilometers) north of Damascus, where she was held in a cell with 20 other women, she says she was roused to consciousness and her torture began. She describes being gang-raped daily by men who smelled strongly of alcohol. Floating in and out of consciousness, she would kick and yell as best she could while lying next to another woman doing the same.

“We were all blindfolded and raped and we would not know who was raping us,” she says, tearing up for the first time in our interview. Before being blindfolded, she could see what she calls the “boss” sit in front of them, teaching them “exactly what to do and say to us.”

“They were ordered to take this one, to take ‘your portion,’” she says. “And they would take it.”

As my mom so eloquently put it, ‘I never wish death upon any one nor do I rejoice in it but when Bashar al-Assad and his family are overthrown, I hope they march them naked in the streets before they kill them’.
