I just finished reading Women Unsilenced by Jeanne Sarson and Linda MacDonald Women Unsilenced is a profoundly difficult yet essential read, offering unflinching insights into the unimaginable torture and suffering endured by children who became victims of human cruelty. The book courageously delves into forms of violence that are rarely spoken of, presenting the raw and horrifying realities faced by survivors of non-state torture (NST). The authors’ commitment to sharing these stories is not only an act of advocacy but also a deeply compassionate effort to honor the resilience of those who have endured such atrocities. Reading this book is challenging—not just because of the content, but because it forces you to confront the darkness humanity is capable of inflicting. Yet, it is also a testament to the resilience of survivors and the unyielding dedication of those who support them. This book is more than a documentation of unspeakable trauma; it is a call to action to end silence, advocate for justice, and champion hope. An unforgettable and deeply moving read.

April 23rd is the 6th anniversary of the #TorontoVanAttack. This act of violence committed by a self-declared incel points to the necessity of raising awareness about incel ideology and possible interventions. Learn more in our upcoming Webinar: https://lnkd.in/gCb_QiPR
