A singular first-person account of sexual violence and the long journey to find and prosecute those responsible. At least one out of six women will be sexually assaulted. Very few of them press charges. Even fewer see their rapists convicted. This book brings to light how difficult the process is to navigate, but how necessary it is to speak out and seek justice. Illuminates the psychological realities of rape and relates them to the larger economical and political forces at work, giving complexity that is often obscured by the trauma of violence. Reveals how certain modes of gentrification and a corrupt property market expose vulnerable residents to economic and sexual violence.A riveting, moment by moment account of sexual violence—the psychological experience of the assault, the navigation of the health and criminal justice systems, the drive to prosecute both the perpetrator and landlord who maintained unsafe living conditions, and the personal transcendence that comes with understanding the complex structures at work. An original analysis of violence in the new millennium: how passive aggression creates the illusion that nothing is actually happening against the victim’s will, releasing the perpetrator from guilt, and imposing feelings of self-betrayal and alienation on to the victim.
