The Resilience of Ellen:

Once upon a time in Liberia, there was a young girl named Ellen. Ellen was born in a small town in West Africa. Growing up, her family struggled to make ends meet, so Ellen started selling goods and products in her town to help her family financially.

In 1994, when Ellen was only 16 years old, the country was plunged into civil war. Amidst the chaos and violence, Nigerian peacekeepers were brought in to try and restore order. However, instead of providing security and safety for Ellen and her familiy, she became a victim of sexual violence.

Despite this horrific experience, Ellen refused to let it define her. She knew that she had to keep moving forward and find a way to rebuild her life.
