A BRIEF BIBLICAL ANSWER

Yes. You are worthy of love, respect, and a beautiful future. Rape is never the survivor’s fault, and what someone did to you does not take away your dignity. Psalm 147:3 reminds us that God cares for wounded hearts. A person who truly loves you will honor your boundaries, respect your choices, and give you space to heal. You deserve safety and compassion, now and always.
