Annie Makeeva's solo trip to Vietnam took a horrifying turn when she was assaulted by two men in Cat Tien National Park. Initially assuming they were fellow tourists, Annie quickly realized she was in danger when they attacked her. Despite the fear and shock, she managed to escape and fend off her assailants by punching one and threatening to report them. This alarming incident underscores not only the risks faced by women traveling alone but also the disturbing presence of misogyny and incel culture that fuels such violence.
When I saw the two guys, I thought they were fellow tourists, but minutes later they followed me into the jungle and attacked.
I shouted for help and realized no one could hear me. When they began to restrain me, I was really scared.
As I got out my phone to take a photograph, one of the men offered me money to keep quiet, clearly scared.
I had to decide whether to follow them back to my bike or continue on to where I could find a park ranger.
