Description
This book will often hurt. It will make you angry and it will make you feel deeply. Catriona Morton's aim is that this pain and anger will motivate you to change the way we talk about surviving sexual violence. Sexual violence affects us all, regardless of our background or circumstances. In recent years, conversations have begun to shift around the prevalence, impact and long-term effects of sexual violence on individuals and society as a whole. Catriona Morton shares her own experiences and those of others she has met through her podcast and work as an activist, offering a nuanced exploration of topics such as consent, education, survivor's mental and physical health, and the cultural shift in attitudes towards sexual violence. With unflinching honesty and surprising moments of humour, Catriona Morton seeks to challenge the narrative around survivors and encourage us to rethink our approach to surviving sexual violence.
