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."
