I don’t know about you, but when I hear the word “Doctor”, I feel comfort and trust within me. Having many doctors and nurses in my immediate and extended family has taught me this trust. For years and years, I have had this innate trust in me. It was shattered yesterday……when the doctor I’ve been going to for more than two years, tried to take advantage of me. At the moment, my first instinct was to just run away and protect myself, but now that I look back, I wonder what else I could have done back then, and what I can do now.
Being in a country that doesn’t attribute too much importance to women’s rights, I know within my heart that there isn’t much I can do. Even if I try to seek justice, I might never get it. If I do, it shall come at TOO big a cost. The cost being- “spoiling my family’s name” in “society” and as a result being ostracized and excluded from the “good, respected” people. Furthermore, there’s the fear of being alienated within my own family. So what must I do?? Fo
