In Spain, the 13-year-old daughter of a mother was kidnapped and raped by a neighbor. The attacker was sentenced to nine years in prison. Approximately six years after serving his sentence, the attacker was released on parole and returned to the city. He encountered the mother at a bar near a bus stop. The attacker mockingly asked her: "How is your daughter?" Enraged, she bought gasoline, returned to the bar, doused the man with it, and set him on fire. The man suffered severe burns and died a few days later. Although gripped by panic, she did not flee, but instead confessed what had happened to those around her and waited for the police to arrive. She was sentenced to five years and six months in prison, but thanks to a pardon campaign and for health reasons, she was released after serving part of her sentence.

"Someone once told me, 'Emotional intelligence is the discipline of sitting with a feeling long enough to understand it before you hand it to someone else,' and that honestly changed how I move.โ€ @Freyy_is

When a survivor takes months or even years to speak about their experience of sexual violence, it can be difficult for others to understand why they waited.
