She understood that speaking up was the first step towards breaking the silence, eradicating the stigma, and creating a more compassionate and supportive society for survivors.

Emily knew that her journey would be difficult, but she was determined to make a difference. She believed that one day, people would realize the importance of open and honest dialogue, and that together, they could create a more just and equitable society.

Emily had always found solace in her diary. It was her confidant, a safe space where she poured her thoughts without fear of judgment. That day, she grappled with a profound realization.

"To talk about something that is wrong and awkward like rape is not wrong, but when that happens, that is correct," she penned, her hand hesitating over the words. She knew the weight they carried.

The world seemed divided into realms of silence and noise when it came to discussing such a harrowing topic. Emily felt the echoes of unspoken pain and buried anguish within those words. It was a lament, a plea for understanding. She continued to write, her words becoming a canvas for her thoughts. "A 10 years old paralyzed girl... why should she endure such cruelty and injustice? How can anyone dare say that is correct?"

Her thoughts wandered to the disparity in society's reactions. "An 18 years old adult girl can't even talk about it," she wrote, her heart heavy with the weight of the truth she had stumbled upon. Emily's words encapsulated a paradox. Speaking about the unspeakable was not the wrong, it was the silence that perpetuated the cycle of pain and injustice. As she closed her diary, Emily made a silent vow. She pledged not just to write about it but to stand against the silence. She vowed to support those who needed a voice and to challenge a world where the victims suffered the burden of shame and guilt.
