THE VICISSITUDES OF LIFE OF A WOMAN RAPED BY HER OWN FATHER

Childhood living without a home, joining the dusty children up and down on the South-North train, rolling around in the gold-digging fields. She was raped many times, but with her extraordinary life force, she became a giant of herself and of hundreds of unfortunate lives.

 

 

                                  Ms. Huynh Tieu Huong

The orphaned past "died over and over again" because of constant rape and abuse.

Huynh Tieu Huong has been a familiar name in the newspapers for more than 16 years now. From an orphan who was raped and abused, she became the mother of hundreds of abandoned children.

Crying non-stop, she shared her life story with Webtretho after the incident was accused of taking advantage of children to make money. For many people, the name on the birth certificate is not so important, but for this woman, it is extremely sacred.

“Abandoned by my parents at a young age, I lived on the streets with torn pants, torn shirt, bare feet, and often cleaned car windows for long-distance drivers so they could feed them. One day, a driver adopted me and gave me a birth certificate with the name Huynh Thi Man. At that time, I felt happy, extremely proud, from being a ragged child like a loofah, to sitting on an extra seat, being considered as a member of the family.

But then the peaceful days did not last long, Huynh Thi Man wandered the sidewalks, drifted from the North to the South, used to cling to live in the gold mining fields. One person after another, she was adopted, but then she was raped by her "benefactors". Talking about the most terrible rape in her life, she choked to share:

“When I was 14 or 15 years old, I was tied up by my adoptive father with my legs spread, hands tied to four posts and lying on my back on the steps. He raped me in such a position that I felt numbing pain when my back was pressed by a heavy weight on the three steps."

Escaped from the "blue-bearded" guys, living on the street, Huong was also not at peace. Talking about the times she was abused, she painfully recalled in tears.

“At that time, I just wanted to have food to live on. The pants were all torn at the bottom. Once, the youths played evil, they stuffed firecrackers under my butt, tied my hands to the back of the motorbike. Then they ignited firecrackers and dragged me on their motorbikes for a few dozen meters. Both sides of the buttocks were swollen and painful for months and then it went away "…

Also in a refusal to be raped by an adoptive father, Huynh Tieu Huong awakened this man. With the capital left by that person, she built herself a business and established the Que Huong humanitarian center - a place to nurture and protect hundreds of orphans.

Being abused, violated like that, but Huynh Tieu Huong (Huynh Thi Man) has never blamed her biological parents. She still thanked them for not killing her in the womb, so that she could live a human life.

Adopting orphans because of the desire to have a real family

. Over 50 years old, having experienced all the joys, anger, love, and stains of life, but when recalling the reason for adopting abandoned children, Huynh Tieu Huong shared shared very innocently that: "I just think I will have a family, will be their mother. And I picked up the ones that were legless, armless, blind, disabled…just thinking what they lacked, I had it. I will look instead, do for the children, live on each other like that, the children will not leave me and go."

 Just over 10 years old, living on the street with warm and full meals, Huynh Tieu Huong raised a child abandoned by his parents because of illness.

“I was very happy then. Thinking of myself sleeping with someone hugging me, talking to me, feeling that I'm protected for it, I'm so proud," she shared.

Then the number of adopted children of Huong increased over time, she said: "Some children are as small as a bottle, sometimes when I pick up 10 children, 9 of them die from infection or illness... There are days when I go to work, I steal them. children around to carry, each of them is small, clinging to Huong's mother. Some people say why I don't sell or give away a few children to make a living, but I absolutely refuse."

Up to now, after 34 years of diligently adopting orphans, Huynh Tieu Huong has become the mother of more than 300 children.

This woman also did not want to repeat the pain of her life, for fear of hurting her children.

She believes:

"I don't want to tell the story of my life forever, fearing that men will have more excuses to abuse children with the reason: Yes, little Huong was abused like that, but still alive and successful. public, and still as rich as it is today. I am very afraid that they will use that as an excuse to rape the children."
