She also wrote their names in the sand with her blood, went on to identify them and have them arrested for what they did to her. She's not just a survivor. She's a literal warrior.
**Alison Botha (South Africa, 1994).**
She was abducted, raped, stabbed ~30 times in the abdomen (disemboweled), and had her throat slit 16 times—nearly decapitated. She held her head on with one hand, pushed her organs back in with the other, crawled to the road for help, and wrote her attackers’ names (Frans du Toit & Theuns Kruger) plus “I love Mom” in the dirt/sand with her blood. She survived, identified them, and they were convicted. Her story is told in the film *Alison*.
