Hollywood actress Gabrielle Union has in a series of tweets shared her rape experience when she worked at a shoe store. She also talked about how many rape victims choose to keep quiet because of fear of stigmitization.
See excerpts from her tweets below:
When ppl ask why I chose to write about my rape in my book or why I continue to speak about sexual violence…this right here. https://twitter.com/BlackGirlNerds/status/919609394479935488 …
Though I was raped by a stranger who raped me at gunpoint after robbing the store, I was still asked by a female “friend” what I had worn
Reminder. I got raped at work at a Payless shoe store. I had on a long tunic & leggings so miss me w/ “dress modestly” shit.
Sexual or physical violence, harassment, demeaning language is NOT the price one should pay for seeking or maintaining employment. Period
