Our survivors: sexual violence: the power of loved ones

In France, 1 in 2 women have already suffered sexual violence, yet only 10% file a complaint. Faced with a failing justice and health system, who can victims turn to? Those close to them, often victims by ricochet, then become the major actors in this liberation of speech. But are we well equipped to support our wives, our mothers, our daughters, our sisters or our friends? HAS Through this essay, rich in testimonies and expert insights, Lisa Serero demonstrates the power of those around us in the reconstruction of victims, and gives us the tools to break the silence, break the isolation, understand the victims and support them. AN ESSENTIAL BOOK FOR LEARNING TO LISTEN TO OUR SURVIVORS.
