#HumansOfAddisAbaba Ziway

​“It happened when I was 7 years old. I grew up in an orphanage in Ziway. On Sundays the orphanage usually lets us go to meet with friends and visit the city. One Sunday it was late, and got lost because I accidentally became separated from my friends. I saw two men and asked them for the direction to the orphanage. They said they knew where it was and offered to take me there, but they ended up taking me to their house. They forced themselves upon me, and raped me the whole night. Now I live in the streets of Addis. I can’t go back to Ziway because the men that raped me are in Jail, if their friends find me they will kill me.”
ሁኔታው የተፈጠረው የሰባት አመት ልጅ ሆኜ ነው፡፡ ያደግኩት ዝዋይ በሚገኝ የህፃናት ማሳደጊያ ውስጥ ነው፡፡ ሁሌ እሁድ እሁድ ወደ ከተማ እንድንወጣና ከጓደኞቻችን ጋር እንድንገናኝ ይፈቀድልን ነበር፡፡ አንድ እሁድ እነደወጣሁ መሸብኝ፤ ያለሁት ጠፋኝና ከጓደኞቼም ጋር ተለያይቼ ቀረሁ፡፡ በአጋጣሚ ሁለት ወንዶች አገኘሁና የማሳደጊያውን አቅጣጫ ጠየኳቸው፡፡ እናሳይሻለን አሉኝ ግን ወደራሳቸው ቤት ወሰዱኝ፡፡ በግድ እላዬ ላይ ወጡብኝ፤ ለሊቱን በሙሉ ሲደፍሩኝ አደሩ፡፡ አሁን የምኖረው አዲስ አበባ ጎዳና ላይ ነው፡፡ ዝዋይ ተመልሼ መሄድ አልችልም፡፡ የደፈሩኝ ልጆች ታስረዋል፡፡ የነሱ ጓደኞች ካገኙኝ ይገሉኛል፡፡
