“I was raped by a stranger. He left me by the side of the road. It was supposed to be a girls’ night out. He found me instead. When I saw my friend I screamed and cried. I didn’t know how to tell my mum. It hasn’t been easy but I won’t let it wreck my life. The project gave me the confidence to walk and travel on my own again. It’s changed me but I feel like a stronger person now.”
