Survivor stories: “I was raped and blamed myself. I’m not ashamed anymore” - The Guardian

Published in The Guardian and shared by Chayn, this personal testimony sees Sheeva Weil recount her experience of rape and the emotional journey of overcoming self-blame. The piece offers an honest, survivor-centred perspective that may resonate with others who have experienced similar feelings of shame and responsibility. It is useful as a humanising, narrative resource for practitioners and organisations supporting survivors of sexual violence, though it is a personal story rather than a practical guide or policy document.
