About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of On the Front Line with the Women Who Fight Back, written and read by Stacey Dooley.

Put yourself in their shoes.

In 2007, Stacey Dooley was a 20-something working in fashion retail. She was selected to take part in the BBC series Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts, which saw her live and work alongside Indian factory workers making clothes for the UK high street. This sparked her series of hugely popular investigations, establishing her as one of BBC3's most celebrated presenters.

Through the course of her documentary making, Stacey has covered a variety of topics, from sex trafficking in Cambodia to Yazidi women fighting back in Syria. At the core of her reporting are incredible women in extraordinary and scarily ordinary circumstances - from sex workers in Russia to victims of domestic violence in Honduras.

In her first audiobook, On the Front Line with the Women Who Fight Back, Stacey draws on her encounters with these brave and wonderful women, using their experiences as a vehicle to explore issues at the centre of female experience. From gender equality and domestic violence to sex trafficking and sexual identity, Stacey weaves these global strands together in an exploration of what it is to be women in the world today.

A hard hitting documentary from some of the most dangerous places in the world. A must read by Stacey Dooley who brings a fresh, open, fair look at some horrendous situations. She works along side local people to see how conflict in all its forms affects women & children most of all. She truly tries to understand the psyche of everyone she meets & yet stays calm & balanced even though she admits to being afraid in many of these situations.
Highly recommended, but be aware there are #sexualabuse #triggers.
In an audio book you can stop listening whenever you want , or pause before going in, so I personally found this much more manageable than watching a documentary.
Despite the awful suffering discussed you come away with some of Dooley’s positive attitude to the future.
