Saskia’s birth month

is April, terribly ironic considering she is a survivor of sexual assault.  She has taught me how to look bravely into the truth, into living through and past what was done to her and her community, her family and her friends.

In honor of this month and all the victims of sexual abuse, I would like to remember some of them each day.

For yesterday I would like to remember three sexual abuse victims from the Bible–Tamar, Dinah, and the unnamed concubine in Judges 19.
