Stories from Abused Women: Rising
Up, Moving On
"This publication aims to make
visible women's voices and experiences, and to inspire other women facing
violence to seek support and find ways to overcome the abuse. The rationale of
this writing project was to take women's empowerment a step further to enable
the women to experience healing and closure through the writing of their own
stories. Writing enables the writer to step back to look at her life, to get a
clearer understanding of her past and present reality. Writing takes the writer
into a depth of introspection, and can serve as the beginning of a longer, more
profound process of change. Writing enables what is in the heart to come
through in words."
