Showing titles in Sexual Abuse & Harassment

"No big deal"...for 15 years, these words kept Torey Ivanic from telling her parents, friends, and boyfriends about her interactions with the gymnastics coach who utterly confused her young mind, body, and soul - who had, she eventually came to understand, sexually violated her. In this memoir, Torey transparently and brilliantly shows how the abuse started, the collateral damage it created in her young life, her realization that it was a big deal, and her journey of healing and justice.

My famous collaborator, during the creation of this audiobook, was my memory, which didn’t make me dig or stretch it too much in order to remember most of the facts and events that I experienced with my friend Yvalia.

C'est comme si la société française n'arrivait pas à voir les maltraitances, les exactions commises sur les enfants.

Che cosa significa esattamente "fare mobbing"? È un attacco ai diritti civili, ma connaturato al lavoro organizzato; è una minaccia al buon funzionamento delle organizzazioni, ma ci sono stili di gestione che lo rendono più probabile; è individuale nelle conseguenze ma è collettivo nei meccanismi che lo innescano. Per chi ha potere è più facile esercitarlo ma le false accuse di mobbing sono a loro volta una potente arma di mobbing.

All too often, churches have been complicit in protecting abusers, reinforcing patriarchal power dynamics, and creating cultures of secrecy, shame, and silence.
