About this listen

At 18, Egyptian-Canadian Carmen faced the impossible: getting an illegal abortion in Egypt in 2013 after being impregnated without her consent. In this raw conversation, she shares navigating secrecy and stigma, confronting the truth about her assault years later, telling her mother afterward, rebuilding her relationship with sex and her body, how kinks have been helpful to her healing and how her father’s hypocrisy, lies, and blurred boundaries shaped her connection to Islam, men, and herself.
