An Australian model and a Miss World Australia state finalist is making waves in Australia these days after she published her heart wrenching video online. Adau Mornyang, 22, earned the admiration and respect of the netizens after she courageously admitted that she was raped when she was 16. Of South Sudanese origin, Adau hopes that she will someday become the voice of young women who lost their dignity.
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.
