These experiences of sexual violence was private and for a long time a social taboo for the public. This study explored the experiences of a generation of women by interviews with survivors that are embadded in a careful analyis of the aftermath of the experience of sexual vieolence. Impressive and emotionally moving quotes from these interviews make the study an interesting read. |
