About this work
Description
'Despite the current survivor-affirming awareness around sexual violence, child sexual abuse, most notably when it's a family member or friend, is still a very taboo topic. There are approximately forty-two million child sexual abuse survivors in the U.S. and millions of bystanders who look the other way as the abuse occurred and cover up for the harm-doers with no accountability. Documentary filmmaker and survivor of child sexual abuse and adult rape, Aishah Shahidah Simmons, invites diasporic Black people to join her in transformative storytelling that envisions a world that ends child sexual abuse without relying on the criminal justice system. 'Love with accountability' features compelling writings by child sexual abuse survivors, advocates and Simmon's mother, who underscores the detrimental impact of parents/ caregives not believing their children when they disclose their sexual abuse. This collection explores disrupting the inhumane epidemic of child sexual abuse, humanely' --Provided by publisher.
