Everything is so concealed in our community and it doesn't come from a bad place it's just very awkward to talk about certain things. Molestation is something that happens more frequently in our community and I know so many sisters who have been molested by older relatives including myself. In sha Allah I will be very careful about who I let in my house when I have a family of my own. Somalis let any distant relatives stay over and it's dangerous when you have young kids. Reminder don't let any person be alone with your kids ever![Trigger warning]
Then the worse scenario is the girls that have been raped and molested, basically had no control over what happened to them how scared they have to be especially those that have hid it from their families. In some cultures usually it's the uncles that do this horrible crime, recently so many muslim sisters have come out saying everything from imams, cousins, family friend etc.
