I Was First Raped At the Age of 7 — Siaya Woman Recounts Disturbing Ordeal

Family relations are supposed to be a solace and solitude, people you can confide in and expect to lift you when you are down. But this was not the case for Diana Obondo a pastor from Bondo, Siaya County who narrates how her close relatives defiled her from her childhood.

In a YouTube video, Diana narrates how her ordeal began when she was just 7 years old after her cousin took advantage of her and compelled her to carry the burden alone through endless threats.

Diana explained that when she was seven years old one of her aunts invited her to their home where she lived with her children. In the home, the aunt’s firstborn daughter had a son who secretly went to her room when Diana was asleep at night and took advantage of her. Despite her screams the aunt dismissed it and her grandson noted that Diana was only having a bad dream.

Diana said in the video, “At midnight, the young man came to me when I was deep asleep, and he did his thing. I woke up screaming because of the pain. When my aunt asked what was happening, the young man told her I was dreaming, and that passed, but my aunt later realised something had happened.”

She could not speak of her ordeal and suffered with the pain alone which would later be rekindled after another cousin abused her after Diana took fire to his room. She narrates, “There was another time when another married cousin of mine took advantage of me. I had taken some fire to his room when he grabbed me, put clothes in my mouth and did what he did. It was so painful.”

Pastor Diana who remains unmarried to this day could not help but uncontrollably cry in the video. She narrates that she wanted to kill herself due to the pain she experienced when she was young and to this day she can’t bring herself around to getting married.
