I'm the Girl Who Was Raped

Catalyst Collective

\u201CA woman born in South Africa has a greater chance of being raped than learning how to read.\u201D\n\nSo begins Michelle Hattingh\u2019s presentation for her Psychology honors thesis. For years, she has studied the perception of rape victims in her home city of Cape Town, one of the world\u2019s capitals of gender-based violence. But on the night she receives her degree, Michelle and a friend are raped on the beach.\n\nDespite the support from her loving middle-class family and many resources at her disposal, Michelle\u2019s identity is eclipsed by the horrors of that night. By the taint she feels. By the fallout of friendships and jobs, and her harrowing treatment from police and doctors.\n\nI\u2019m The Girl Who Was Raped is Michelle\u2019s reclamation of body, selfhood, and future.
