Former contestant of music reality show, Mentor One, Ruth Williams has disclosed the she is a rape victim and was raped at age eighteen by someone very close to her. She stated that that the horrific incident scared her so much that she was afraid of men.
Speaking in an interview on Cosmopolitan Mix on Joy FM on Tuesday with
Mamavi Owusu-Aboagye, Ruth called for women and young girls to speak up about
rape and abuse.
The singer said;
“I have gone through rape before and I know the experience when it
comes to rape. I feel that it is about time that Ghanaians, Africans…
address these issues and solve them. There are little children whose
fathers are sleeping with them and they can’t talk about it.”
According to her, the incident happened during her secondary school days and as young and naive that she was, she could not muster courage to report the case to the police.
Ruth who has branded herself as Esi advised young women and kids not to be frightened by threats from men who rape or abuse them. They should report such incidents,
