In 2017, the #MeToo movement began to empower survivors of sexual harassment and abuse to speak out, but the establishment mobilized against change and sought to reinforce a system that keeps women voiceless. Silenced Women, by leading human rights barristers Jennifer Robinson and Dr Keina Yoshida, exposes how the law is being used to curtail women's free speech and what we can do to fight back.

A captivating and essential read, this book is a must-have for women and allies alike.
In 2017, the Harvey Weinstein allegations sparked a global wave of sexual harassment and abuse stories shared on social media. Just as the #MeToo movement began to empower survivors to speak out against their abuse, perpetrators and their lawyers worked tirelessly to silence them.
In their book, Silenced Women, renowned human rights barristers Jennifer Robinson and Dr Keina Yoshida shed light on the establishment's efforts to resist change and uphold a system that silences women.
Through their own and other cases, they illustrate how the law is being employed to restrict women's freedom of speech and offer strategies for fighting back.
The book delves into the disparities between the Amber Heard cases in the UK and the US, as well as the remarkable story of Zelda Perkins, who became the first person to break her NDA against Weinstein.
By examining these cases and others, Silenced Women provides a powerful analysis of the legal mechanisms that perpetuate gender-based violence and oppression.
This book is a crucial resource for anyone who wants to contribute to the fight for gender equality and women's rights.
It serves as a reminder that the struggle for justice and equality is ongoing, and that we must continue to raise our voices and work together to create a world where women are heard, respected, and protected.
