Ms Gloria Ng
Ms Gloria Ng is an active member in RainLily VOICES Group, and a survivor of sexual violence. This is the story in her own words:
I have experienced sexual assaults in my life. My every first experience was the time I was 11. My cousin touched my private parts and it lasted for more than a year. At that time, I was too young to notice how wrong it was, so I never told anyone, despite my gut feeling told me that it’s wrong.
My second experience of sexual assault happened 2 days after my 16th birthday and it was an attempted rape. I told my sister and she insisted I need to tell my parents what had happened. I did and therefore I ended up in the police station at midnight. I was questioned, challenged in the police station. After being questioned for more than 12 hours, I was so exhausted.
And this changed my whole life, I found I hardly believe anyone that will trust my story and I even attempted suicide. I came across a few more indecent assaults later in my university life but I chose not to tell others. At the same time, I tried to convince myself it was just a part of a normal social life in university.
What happened in my 16th really twisted my whole moral value about right or wrong. And I used many years to twist back. I hope my sharing can give you some insight on what the society can do for victims of sexual assault.
