Sexual Assault

[close] Girls Against began as a campaign that aimed to establish a discussion of the issue of sexual assault at gigs and although this discussion has been firmly established, we are still working on expanding it. We are hoping to use this book club to bring to light the issues surrounding it - i.e the deep-rooted attitudes installed in our culture that have made sexual assault at gigs commonplace. We want to stimulate discussion whilst also amplifying the voices of authors whose views are in alignment with the campaigns whether they are authors of fiction/non-fiction texts or poetry. We'd love for you to join us in reading and discussing some thought-provoking and interesting texts!

[close] People interested in books about survivors of rape and domestic violence.

[close] Mental Illness. Eating Disorders. Sexual Assault. Domestic Violence. So many issues come with such a huge stigma attached. Education and understanding are the keys to ending stigma. Every month we will read another book tackling a stigmatized issue such as one of the ones listed above. Suggestions will be taken, different issues will be tackled, and both fiction and nonfiction books will be included. Be a stigma fighter, learn with me.

[close] Hello everyone! I would like this group to be about unknown, under talked about, and undereducated topics! Mainly Sexual Assault and Child Sexual Assault! My dear friend has written a book showing her first hand account on Child Sexual Assault and how it has affected her, but many people don't realize how it can truly affect people, which is a shame. (If you want to check it out, find "Paper Tiger by Chloe Akemi" on Amazon!) Anyway, in this group chat your hearts away about topics you believe need more awareness!
