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 audiobook jumps around a bit as if one minute they are talking to a fellow survivor, and the next minute they are talking to a caretaker or friend, but one thing is consistent throughout: their deep compassion and care for survivors of abuse.

En sus casas, en las calles, en el transporte público o en el trabajo, en cualquier lugar y momento, siempre existe la posibilidad de ser violentadas. Si bien conocemos historias de extrema violencia en los medios de comunicación y el tema ha adquirido cierta visibilidad, también existen muchas historias de violencia cotidiana que se quedan guardadas en la privacidad de los hogares.

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.

In Hunting Girls, Kelly Oliver examines popular culture's fixation on representing young women as predators and prey and the implication that violence - especially sexual violence - is an inevitable, perhaps even celebrated, part of a woman's maturity. In such films as Kick-Ass (2010), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), and Maleficent (2014), power, control, and danger drive the story, but traditional relationships of care constrict the narrative. Even the protagonist's love interest adds to her suffering.

Che cosa significa esattamente "fare mobbing"? È un attacco ai diritti civili, ma connaturato al lavoro organizzato; è una minaccia al buon funzionamento delle organizzazioni, ma ci sono stili di gestione che lo rendono più probabile; è individuale nelle conseguenze ma è collettivo nei meccanismi che lo innescano. Per chi ha potere è più facile esercitarlo ma le false accuse di mobbing sono a loro volta una potente arma di mobbing.
