Adau who works as a model claims that there is that unspoken rape culture in the South Sudanese community in Australia. When she was raped, she sought the help of the police and the two perpetrators were immediately arrested. But the pressure on her from the South Sudanese community forced her to drop the case. The events left her traumatized and decided to expose the victim blaming that is so prevalent in her community.
Adau Mornyang will compete at the Miss World Australia Official Crowning Ceremony which will be hosted at Grand Hyatt Melbourne on July 14.
