After the end of their marriage, she had “the most terrible panic attacks,” she said.

Shirin David, 26, rapper, encourages victims of sexual violence to make their experiences public. “We need these stories from women, not because we are addicted to scandal, but because we only talk about the problems then,” she told the mirrors.

Shirin David also commented on sexual violence in an Instagram story at the time and was then attacked. To the mirrors she said now: “I will always believe any alleged rape victim.” Basically, it is very difficult for women to talk about it. “Why do we all know a woman who has already been sexually molested, but we don’t know any perpetrators?”

Viktoria Radvanyi, Hungarian LGBTQ activist, has set an example for human rights – and against the Hungarian government. At the MTV Europe Music Awards in Budapest, she received the Generation Change award and said, “All people are born the same.

This time the event took place in a fully occupied sports arena. Viktor Orban’s Chancellery Minister had previously said that this event would be used as a “provocation against the government”.
