I have been asked to share this story for a friend of a friend who lives in Sneinton
#Nottingham. I've spoken to the victim and she's happy for me to share for awareness please read.
PLEASE READ - MY FRIEND JUST POSTED THIS IN SNEINTON - ⚠️ PLEASE READ — RAISING AWARENESS ⚠️
Today, something happened to me that has left me shaken, frightened and struggling to process what I have been through.
I ordered food through Deliveroo, expecting a normal delivery to my home. Instead, I experienced something no woman should ever have to experience in her own home.
The delivery driver forced his way into my house. My three young children were inside. I told him to get out, and he pushed me, causing me to fall to the floor. He left and then came back again. At one point, he tried to lock my front door from the inside while we were all in the house.
I cannot put into words how frightening this was. Your home is supposed to be your safe place, and having something like this happen while your young children are there is something I am struggling to come to terms with.
The police have been informed, and they are treating this as attempted r@pe.
There is more to what happened, but I am not ready to share the full details, and I ask people to respect that. I am dealing with something deeply upsetting, and my priority right now is processing what happened and being there for my children.
I am sharing this because I want to raise awareness. You never expect something like this to happen when you order food to your own home. You expect a delivery, not to feel frightened or unsafe in your own house.
No woman should have to fear for her safety in her own home. No mother should have to experience something so frightening with her children present.
Please remember that there is a real person behind this post, dealing with the emotional impact of what happened. I am not looking for attention, and I do not want to be questioned about the details I am not ready to discuss. I simply want to raise awareness and ask people to take women’s safety seriously.
I never thought I would have to write something like this, but here I am, trying to make sense of a day that has changed how safe I feel in my own home.
Please be kind. ❤️
Your home should be your safe place. Nobody has the right to make you feel unsafe in it.
