Thoughts about community support around intimate violence

About this book

Compiled from personal stories and conversations shared within a discussion group on community accountability, Thoughts offers detailed strategies, suggestions and examples on how best to support survivors and perpetrators of intimate violence and abuse. The authors categorize and describe varying community roles in resolving conflict, with articles on involving reluctant perpetrators in transformative support groups, the risks associated with calling the police, and precautions to take when leaving an abusive household. This self-help zine has a bright orange cover, with clipart and images from Persepolis and other comics appearing throughout, with personal stories to serve as examples for the reader. -- Claudia
