Sexual violence is a pervasive issue that affects individuals across various societal intersections, impacting every one of us. In the wake of the #MeToo and Time's Up movements, a cultural conversation has emerged regarding the prevalence, immediate impact, and long-term effects of sexual violence on individuals. This conversation has sparked discussions on sexism, misogyny, consent, and trauma. People from various sectors, including the entertainment industry, governments, and countries like India and the USA, are beginning to acknowledge the pain survivors have endured for a long time.

In her book, Catriona Morton, drawing from her personal experiences and those she has encountered through her podcast and activism, will address key topics such as consent and education, the mental and physical health of survivors, the cultural shift in attitudes towards sexual violence, the impact of politics and governmental cuts on survivors in the UK, as well as the realities of subjects like dating and reclaiming sexuality in the aftermath of sexual violence.

Through her writing, Catriona aims to challenge the narrative surrounding survivors and compel us to reevaluate the ways in which we discuss surviving sexual violence. She approaches these topics with unwavering honesty and occasional moments of humor, seeking to transform the way we perceive and understand the experiences of survivors.
