domestic violence

on not calling the police for help and addressing violence within our communities effectively

A zine from a variety of contributors that combines essays, personal accounts and interviews on the topic of domestic abuse, particularly partner abuse in activist communities, and challenges assumptions about violence, rape culture, and more.

Compilation zine. "We need to be who we are, we need to speak our truths and we need to listen to each other. The real shit. I want this zine to be a part of that. It's an invitation. It's a conversation. It's a bunch of girls spilling our guts, saying the shit that's on our minds." - from intro. (keyword phrase: Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC))

"This is a zine about supporting people that have been sexually abused. No formulas, no simple answers, just trying to peel back the layers - the heart of it, the hurt and fear and aloneness, the helplessness and failures and how we have pulled through, what we have learned, how we have grown, what we can teach each other."

Includes discussion of body image, domestic violence, and the Jonas Brothers.
