Southern Africa: The "I" Stories

The "I" stories: speaking out on gender violence in Southern Africa is a collection of the writing of men and women who have been affected by violence – as survivors and rehabilitated perpetrators. The 17 stories from five Southern African countries are testimony to the strength and courage of the writers who, despite social and cultural norms which compound the silence surrounding gender violence, have spoken out. The stories are told simply and honestly by ordinary people in their own words. This booklet is a unique compilation of the authentic voices of those in our community who have spoken out, and who in doing so have opened the way for others to do the same. Booklet available from Gender Links (R30.00). Call Susan Tolmay on 27-11-622 2877, email [email protected] or go to www.genderlinks.org.za
