When we went to complain to authorities about what was happening as a child growing up, it was always turned around; that you are the cause of it, you are the reason this is happening to you, which again creates reluctance to come and seek help and assistance from somebody who is not within your own culture for fear that you are going to be rejected or stigmatized and discriminated against.
Si nous allions nous plaindre aux autorités de ce que nous vivions, cela se retournait toujours contre nous : tu es la cause, tu es la raison pour laquelle cela t'arrive, ce qui nourrit encore là une réticence à demander l'aide et le secours d'une personne qui ne fait pas partie de notre culture de crainte de se faire rejeter ou stigmatiser et d'être victime de discrimination.
