Description
In this their second book, feminist activists Jeanne Sarson and Linda MacDonald share the story of Lynn, one of many women they supported, who was able to heal from more than four years of spousal non-state torture, human trafficking, and exploited into prostitution. Their compassion, expertise, and professionalism opened a path to healing for Lynn and the many others they supported. Interwoven with Lynn's words - which were recorded by Jeanne and Linda and reviewed and corrected by Lynn - is the story of the authors more than 30 years of activism to document non-state torture, develop protocols to support women who have been tortured, and bring the need for legal protection to governments at the national and international levels. Acknowledging and enshrining in law women's rights to be protected from non-state torture victimizations is a key component of the healing process. In Lynn's words, "I'm feeling astonished and proud of my courage, of my strength, and of my will to survive." In their first book, Women Unsilenced: Our Refusal to Let Torturer-Traffickers Win, Jeanne and Linda revealed the extent of non-state torture in the lives of girls and women, and the resistance of institutions, professional organizations, and governments of all stripes to acknowledge and effectively address the criminal activities of those who torture and traffic in the private sphere. With Healing-Lynn's Story, Jeanne and Linda continue their revolutionary work to make the world a safe place for women and girls. Louise RebelleFormer feminist publisher of gynergy books
