Modesty Posted July 29, 2006 Have you been ever molested? If so, have you seen your aggressor years later, and what have you done? P.S. I know this is a sensitive topic, but I'm sure there are many people out there who have faced this, and has been a trauma in their lives even in adulthood. You are anonymous after all, share, maybe you could help someone who doesn't know what to do out there, who is facing the same problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valenteenah. Posted July 29, 2006 Are you talking about sexual molestation? In childhood? Adulthood?? At work? All of the above? None of the above? It's probably not relevant but I get molested frequently on the Tube. And so does one of my male colleagues. We think it's because we are awfully passive (me) or attractive (him) people that it happens to us. Avoid both the Northern and Victoria lines during rush hour. Jokes aside, molestation of any kind is a horrible thing. Anyone who it happens to should report it to the police. Modesty, you contemplate very dark issues these days. Tone, LoL...it will be mentioned, don't you worry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Resistance Posted August 1, 2006 Modesty is a grave area you have raised and one needs to be tackled within the Somali community. Molesting ( not sexual ) but the touching and feelings of young girls exists and is often perperated by close family memebers ( uncles, family freinds etc ). Am not just speakin from speculation but i know of at least two girls who went through this in their young years and they dared not tell their parents for fear of not being beleived. But the real question should be how to best to tackle this? and no setting up an organisation that confronts is not the answer. Maybe all parents should just be more open with their kids and just talk to them more often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RendezVous Posted August 1, 2006 ^n teach their kids some Deen and Islamic behaviours and "Dhaqan"... I was disgusted to see In dubai recently some somali wannabees..Young cute ladies wearing Jeans like there is no tomorrow....Did I say anything like their "Thongs"... a "beyonce" sort of, until she said "In adheer...where is the Gold souq(Market)..and I told her to try speaking Somali..from that time.. I remembered the swahili sayings... "Mwacha mila ni mtumwa"..which means The one who leaves his culture/ways is a slave.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Modesty Posted August 1, 2006 ^Rendev..what does this have to do with girls needing to learn their culture. Excuse me but I call that bull, and hostile sexism towards women. Why are women always attacked, and accused in most cultures when they are the actual victims? What does this have to do with this topic. Yes, molestation happens in happens in somali communities, most often by very close family members. It's hard to speak about it because you feel this deep shame, and the sad part is you shouldn't feel that way, it's not your fault.You didn't deserve that.I know.

Captain Xalane Posted August 1, 2006 You come up with bizzare topics you know that? I think ignoring some basic issues that do happen in our communities is more bizarre than actually laying them on the table for discussion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
