This is an incredibly important book for those of us concerned about rape culture, sexual assault and other forms of sexual abuse that come under the umbrella term “Sexual Terrorism.” Dr. Brenita has spent her life researching the prevalence and long term negative consequences of sexual terrorism. She works with people who have suffered under sexual terrorism and she is a victim-survivor herself.
This book will explain the umbrella term, share statistics from countries around the globe and illuminate the reader about many related subtopics such as patriarchy, misogyny, women’s rights and liberation, rape culture etc. Dr. Brenita shares heart wrenching and triggering stories of victim-survivors. She even gives important psychological advice toward true, deep healing.
I appreciated this book so much as a victim-survivor. I found myself shocked, educated and equipped for advocacy.
So I say, read it and weep!
