Renowned Nigerian author, Chika Unigwe who writes in both English and Dutch has come forward with her own sexual assault story in the wake of the conversation around rape and sexual assault that is currently ongoing. The 35-year-old who is also a member of the Organising Team at TEDxEuston, wrote on Facebook:“My freshman year at UNN, a guy almost raped me. Years before then, I was in elementary school then, my mother’s cousin cornered me in the kitchen and squeezed my non-existent boobs. There are reasons why sexual assault victims in our society keep quiet. Soon, we will break down the wall of undeserved shame that walls victims in and emboldens offenders.
