Imagine having a baby, something most of us dream off. But every time you look at this child, you can’t help, but to think about the trauma. Every time you hold this child, you can’t remember anything, but the feeling of being touched. Every time you hear them speak, you can’t hear anything but your attackers, yelling to each other, cheering one another up, as they force themselves upon you. This is the nightmare thousands of Rohingya women have to deal with. Their babies being a constant reminder of horror.
Momtaz BegumIt’s only been a few months, but Momtaz Begum’s daughter still looks at her mom, tears streaming down her face, asking what happened to her brothers and her dad, where they are, and when they will come back. The truth is that they won’t. Because as around 25.000 other Rohingya, they were killed by Myanmar military, as they attacked, and burned down Rohingya villages. Momtaz Begum says that she had to witness her husband being shot, her toddlers being thrown into a mass grave, still alive, her 11-year-old son being violently beaten and shot, and mother’s throat being slit, before the men decided to leave her behind. Shook, beaten, and raped, she was left with nothing but her daughter and the everlasting trauma of losing everything. “I think about my children. I miss them so much. They were my life. I miss my husband so deeply. My daughter and I are alone in the world. “
