Surviving Sexual Assault

his booklet: "Surviving Sexual Assault" is based on "Survivor", a pamphlet originally designed for the people of Los Angeles County. It was cosponsored by Los Angeles Commission on Assault Against Woman as well as other organisations in the LA area. Although it's been quite some years since it was published, it is, sadly I might add, still very much needed.

It is, to put it simply, a help-book for those who have been victims of sexual violence, including their family and friends. Plus it offers practical advice on how to prevent sexual assaults. Over some 80+ pages this little booklet provides a lot of concise and valuable information.

Sure, this is the kind of topic that we all would prefer to close our eyes to and say; "This won't happen to me!" And hopefully you're right. Still it may indeed happen to someone you know and care about, and then what? So many people are being victims to sexual violence every day, and they sure need all the help they can get - if nothing else a sholder to cry on.

Armed with information such as the one you'll find here, you stand a far better chance to be a better support for the person in need of it. You will also be able to offer advice, if that is called for.

The part about preventing sexual violence is limited - you will find more about it other places. But by all means, what you'll find here says definitely nothing wrong!

Anyhow, I urge you to arm yourself with knowledge! The sort of knowledge that comes in handy if things ever should happen. It's like CPR, or fire-drills, or basic first aid, or car safety. There's a reason to why we learn that stuff isn't it? This booklet is a good place to start. Search for it at Abebooks, that's where I got it. You may also purchase it at Amazon (link in the left column).
