Today I took a taxi in order to got to my house. The driver was saying weird things, trying to talk with me, but I just answered like nothing was happening. Then I paid him and when I was leaving the taxi he slapped my butt. I tried to hit him but he ran away.
I feel so bad because I couldn’t do anything. The security man where I live took some notes about the taxi so he gave them to me.. But I still can feel pain in my butt. I have been crying. I told my parents and they supported me but I feel so bad, I feel abused and the worst thing is that in my country this is a common problem. Machismo it’s normal here..
