I am not represented. I am 18 and single. There are seven members in my family. My father passed away in 2012. I stopped my studies in 2011. I first infiltrated Sudan in 2011 but I was deported. I spent eight months in jail in Eritrea for the escape attempt. In May of this year I again infiltrated Sudan. I would like to say that I underwent severe sexual abuse by the smugglers who raped me numerous times. First, they took me to work, and then the rape began. All of them raped me. They raped me every day. I will never forget what I went through in Sinai. I was there for three and a half months. My family had to pay about $30,000 to the smugglers for my release. I met the social worker in prison but I did not tell her everything.
