At the age of 15, Brisa De Angulo was raped by a member of her extended family while he was staying with her parents. Here she describes the slow, insidious way that her attacker went about isolating her from family and friends before the sexual abuse began. Brisa now runs the Breeze of Hope Foundation, which supports young survivors of sexual violence in Bolivia.
