Azeeza’s story

I went to a party with Bill, a friend I grew up with. We met some of his friends at the party and everything seemed to be going well. I had a couple of drinks but not that many.

I don’t remember much, but I remember thinking “I feel really out of it” when we were in the taxi on the way home. I woke up in a bed at Bill’s friend’s place. I don’t know how I got there! I felt horrible and really scared and confused. My head was thumping, and my body felt sticky. I knew something had happened. I don’t know how, though. I don’t know if Bill had anything to do with it even!

Somehow I got home. I knew these guys – they were friends of Bill’s, and my family knew their parents too. I didn’t know what to do. I was in a daze and went to my GP. I was worried I’d been raped and might get pregnant, or some disease, and I didn’t know if they’d drugged me cos I knew I hadn’t drunk that much!

My doctor said it’s best not to shower or anything, so he helped me get to the hospital where they did some tests and gave me the morning after pill, and antibiotics in case of infections. I had had sex. I know I didn’t want to or agree to it, but couldn’t remember a lot. They said yes, that’s rape!
