Beyond Shock is a Groundbreaking Study

"Beyond Shock is a groundbreaking study that emerges in a global culture that chronically stigmatizes and spectacularizes rape survivors. Beyond Shock takes a meticulous approach to going beyond the headlines by magnifying the voices and activism of rape survivors, their allies, and anti-rape advocates.  This focus on community and resistance is a reminder of how the Haitian tradition of konbit can help to transform rape culture."
