Hina's letter

I am contacting you with so much fear. Please help, help, help.

I was raped. I think it is my own fault because I was walking in a street alone at night. Now I hate myself and the man.

I have never had an abortion at the hospital, but I could not bear the insulting gaze at me by the doctors and nurses. I have been raped, and this is too big an insult. Do I have to bear another insult? I cannot bear it. If you do not help me, I am going to kill myself.

Hina received the abortion pill from Women on Web and ended her unwanted pregnancy.
