Description of the Role Playing
Nok was so shocked and confused with what had happened that she did not know what
to do. She never thought something like this would happen. She felt like she has lost herself.
She was not so sure if she could tell her father. He never has time for her and they hardly

talk about anything together. She thought about going to the police station but she doubts
if the police can help.

When Ali came home, he noticed that something was wrong with his daughter. He tried
to talk to Nok but she refused and hid the fact that something had happened to her.
She insisted that she wanted to be left alone.

After one week, she called her female friend for help. After hearing the story, her friend
decided to tell Ali about what happened to his daughter. Ali was shocked and upset

after finding out that his daughter was raped. The friend suggested that he should be very
careful with his daughterûs feelings and provide some kind of professional help for her.

Ali went back to Nok, and started asking questions about how it happened, whether or not
she was willing to sleep with Sombat. Nok was still scared and even more frozen when
her father looked down on her and asked such questions. Ali decided to talk to Maria
(Sombatûs mother), while Nok refused the idea as she felt ashamed.

Ali visited Mariaûs house saying directly that her son had raped his daughter. It made
Maria upset. She did not believe her son would do such a thing because her son is very
educated. Rather she blamed Nok for not behaving well. After a while, they came to the
conclusion that it is the best way to resolve the problem within the family by proposing
them to marry. Both Ali and Maria did not want to take legal action because they would
lose face. However, this situation embarrassed Nok even more. Nok did not want to marry
Sombat. She rather choose to press charge against him.

Nok and Ali arrived at the police station. The policeman was unkind and indifferent.
He sat very close with her while chasing her father away. He wanted to hear the story
from Nok not anybody else. It made Nok fell intimidated. He kept asking the details
that she did not want to be reminded of. Also, he blamed her for visiting a boyûs room
alone and dancing together. He seemed to think that it was a consensual sex. Nok thought
the policeman was making up his own story and was forcing her to say what he wanted
to hear. Finally, she did not want to talk anymore and the policeman concluded that

there would be no charge because he did not see any evidence that she did not consent
to have sex.
