Αναρωτιέμαι τι θα έλεγε η για το . Θύμα βιασμού σε μικρή ηλικία, πέρασε βασανιστήρια (κυριολεκτικά) κατά τη διάρκεια της δίκης του βιαστή της. Διαβάστε την εκπληκτική ιστορία μίας δυναμικής γυναίκας. 💥

You feel sorry for me because a woman’s name raises doubts until the work is seen; I shall not bore you any longer with this female chatter. The works speak for themselves.
