He pulled a dagger, put one hand on my mouth, so that I could not scream. He then raped me and disappeared,” the Daily Mail quoted Mentwabe as saying. The 24-year-old said that she kept her pregnancy and rape a secret, until she could no longer hide it. “
I feared the consequences of being raped in a community where rape is considered a taboo, even if what happened happened forcibly,” she said. As her belly swelled, Mentwabe could no longer hide her pregnancy and confided in her mother. “ It was not as I feared. I found my mother understanding and consoling. She urged me not to do anything rash, which might endanger my life.”
