Mary's Story
This is a special tribute to a very special young woman - we can't print her name, or her picture, as she is still
on the battle field, fighting for her life, against some very dark forces on this planet. We will call her Mary.
Mary is brave, funny, beautiful, strong, bright, kind, immensely loving and full of energy and passion for life.
But at 10 yrs old she was raped. Incidents led to incidents and she fell in to a group of very well organised
and well trained men, who groomed her in to sex slavery for them. They fed her regularly with a brilliantly
balanced diet of drugs, violence, abuse, praise, more drugs, more violence and a constant drip, drip,
drip of denigration, reducing and removing her self worth and self esteem with the accuracy
and precision of a surgical procedure.
Now she is 24. She wants out, but she's an addict. They still visit her regularly. Leaving 'gifts' of her
favourite drugs on the doorstep - for her, for free....'till they want to collect.... And then she owes them, big time.
But she 'wants' the drugs, she needs the drugs. She needs them to take away the memories she carries because
she can't sleep without drugs .... because the memories come back in dreams/nightmares - real life nightmares.
She needs the drugs to forget what she has done, what she has seen and what she believes she is.
So she takes the drugs, so she can sleep without the dreams, and then she owes them....
And they collect - in violence and rape... And then she needs more drugs....
And of course any time she wants to escape, they tell her she'll never get away because she isn't strong enough....
she can't 'cope' without the drugs, so she might as well just have the drugs, because she isn't worth anything anyway.
But what 'they' do not know is how deep Mary's strength goes. They have made the mistake of
underestimating the power of this young woman. They may believe they have her, but they do not.
For Mary has a secret weapon. LOVE. How much she LOVES and how much she is LOVED, and the sisterhood.
And we are standing with her and for her and for every single Mary across the planet.
No More. You can't have us. You can't have our bodies for your violence, our vulnerability for your sickness,
our innocence for your shame, our beauty for your profits
Mary is going to try again to beat this, to beat them. The last time they delivered the 'free' drugs to her,
she flushed them in a Freedom ritual to claim her life and claim her freedom.
We believe in Mary and if you believe in her too, please join us....
We will be praying for every child and woman held in sex slavery of any kind every Sunday at 10am.
Any kind of prayer/meditation you feel is right. Every Week.
Holding them in love and in light and in the knowledge of their right to be free.
UPDATE ON MARY
Mary, thanks to her sheer courage and strength and to all of you who have sent in your love and support in so many ways has turned a corner. Its a huge corner and its been a huge process. Not one any of us would want anyone to face. But she is and I am so deeply inspired and brought to tears by the reality of this woman's love and choice to live no matter what life has thrown her way. Its not easy, she struggles every day and now that she has finally said NO MORE to the abuse and stopped taking huge amounts of drugs to cope with the pain she is facing many new memories that haunt her. Lets continue to send our love to Mary and to women and girls like her to support them to be truly free.
Mary's crowdfunding page is now closed but you can still donate to her fund by emailing me at yzabelaah@aevamagazine.co.uk, every donation is making a very real and positive impact in her life which I have every faith she will pay forward many fold in the years to come. Thank you in advance.
