The epidemic of abuse, violence against women continues in plain sight. Women being killed and raped in the most extreme ways and children being abused. Reading headlines reporting on Rebecca Cheptegei murder. ‘Olympian dies after being set on fire with petrol’… erasing the terrible act of pre-meditated murder that she endured. Watching the strength, courage and bravery of Gisele Pelicot has moved me, as she attended court this week, waived her right to anonymity to stand against her abuser, her husband, who over the course of 10 years drugged her and invited 51 men to violently rape her. But was not allowed to use the word “rape” in court. I know from my work with @womens_aid that sadly these stories are no less prevalent behind closed doors. Women attacked, killed, their children murdered by people known to them, beaten and raped, women are not safe.

Todays #MindsetMonday comes from @stomachick.x_x, she says “In 2014 at just 21, an age I nearly didn’t make it past. I endured one of the hardest times and I’ve gone through for major life saving & life changing surgery for an ileostomy stoma bag due to a rare life-threatening bowel disease known as Hirschsprung’s. I also have multiple other complex conditions/ disabilities. I was told my bowel was packing up & was no longer working as it should to keep me alive. I spent most of my teens in & out of hospital, on tons of different medications, painkillers & endless laxatives. Even trialing medication that weren’t out yet and dealing with a tonne of different debilitating symptoms, from not opening my bowels for five months, extreme bloating weight/blood loss, nausea/vomiting & excruciating pain & more. My surgery was complex & 5 days later I was rushed back in & nearly died due to a perforated & twisted bowel, sepsis, & multiple other complications which I required multiple IV meds, tubes NG/ feeding & blood transfusions for. Being chronically disabled has resulted in me having a lot of surgery & tons of procedures in the last 10 years. Loss of organs & my ability to have children naturally & potentially at all. I recently had my 13th surgery which was during my IVF treatment. Which has sadly failed. I still deal with a lot with my health & I’m on morphine daily. But going through extensive trauma at such a young age has shown me how precious life is & having your health can be. My Stoma saved my life, I will always continue to try to erase the stigma around ostomy bags & invisible illnesses, as well as showing my true beautiful self.”
