Fighting to Forgive

Layla’s story is fiction, but marital rape is not.

Studies done by Pandora’s Project, a support group for survivors of rape and sexual abuse, conclude that one in seven women will be sexually assaulted by her husband or boyfriend.

Research shows that marital rape can be more emotionally and physically traumatic than rape by a stranger.

If you or someone you know needs help, call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-Hope. Or go online to RAINN.org.

Everyone needs someone fighting in their corner. You’re not alone.
