Understanding The Other 

In April 1997, Camilla Carr and her boyfriend, Jon James went to Chechnya to set up a rehabilitation centre for traumatised war-children. Three months later they were taken hostage by Chechnyan rebels. Their ordeal lasted 14 months, during which Camilla was repeatedly raped by one of her jailers.
  

"Rape is a terrible violation of a human being. I will never forgive the act, yet I can forgive the man who raped me; I can feel compassion for him because I understand the desperate place he was coming from, [...] the desperation that caused them to do the things they did. 

This was the toughest situation I had ever faced but I chose to find the positive rather than the negative but I still had to deal with my emotions because that is part of what being human  is. I asked for guidance and felt waves of energy pouring over me." Camilla Carr

"He can never touch the essence of me; my body it is only a part of who I am. My spirit will always be free." CC
