Adanna’s story continued…<\/p>\n
"So she goes to this place
\nfrequented by these men to ask for food, maybe they will have compassion and
\nhelp her. They look at her, they grab her, they fondle her and they all laugh.
\nShe feels more like an animal than a human being. They refuse to simply give
\nher food. \u201cWhy should we give you anything you ugly little mongrel?\u201d they
\nshout. <\/p>\n
They tell her to go in the back
\nroom of the store and wait. \u201cWe will take from you what we want and we will
\ngive you what you want!\u201d She steps into the room and she is shaking. It smells
\nlike urine and mold. There is a man sleeping in the corner, it looks like he is
\nvery sick. <\/p>\n
Suddenly, three men come in
\ndrinking and shouting. One of them grabs her, forces her to kiss him, then
\nslaps her. He smells like smoke and throw-up. They put their hands all over her
\nand rip off her clothes. She cries and screams but nobody cares, nobody is
\nlistening. They systematically rape her for what seems like an eternity. <\/p>\n
They throw her a bag of food and
\nyell that if she was better in bed, they would have given her more food. She
\nleaves humiliated, violated, and destroyed. What Adanna doesn\u2019t know is that those
\nmen who just traded food for sex have just passed the HIV virus to her. Though
\nshe won\u2019t die of starvation, her dreams of marriage and a family will never
\ncome true. She will die of AIDS within three years."<\/p>\n
