Showing titles in Sexual Abuse & Harassment

From the creators of Molestation Monologues (Voice Arts Awards nominee) and Secrets Unleashed Game: Talk Play Heal, comes a new audiobook on sexual abuse - specifically child sexual abuse - and why some survivors may choose to remain silent.

The Me Too movement, started by Black feminist Tarana Burke in 2006, went viral as a hashtag 11 years later after a tweet by White actor Alyssa Milano. Mainstream movements like #MeToo have often built on and coopted the work of women of color, while refusing to learn from them or center their concerns.

For many women, creeps are a serious, ubiquitous, pervasive problem. They seem to be everywhere. Not only do they pester us in public, but some are capable of worming their way into our social life, poisoning our experiences.

This books aims to bridge that gap by explaining the nature of creeps, how and why they manage to infiltrate our social circles, and how we can best deal with them in a safe and timely manner.

Before the advent of social media, which has been a powerful tool for amplifying the voices of women, the experience of sexual harassment and abuse was both insidious and isolating. Egregious workplace behavior toward women was tolerated with the unspoken acceptance that "men will be men" and complaints about sexual assault in and outside the office often ended up with the victims being blamed.
