Sinopsis

Imagine being a carefree, independent young woman enjoying life. Your bold, adventurous spirit pulls you to travel to distant locales. Then out of nowhere, youâÇÖre abducted, assaulted, and raped. That is the terror-filled experience that Karen Moe survived almost thirty years ago.But this is not a crime story. This is not even just a survivorâÇÖs tale. Instead, this is a manifesto. In dialogue with other feminists and through case studies from around the world, Moe uses her trauma to shine a light on how not only violence against women, but all exploitation, is a natural result of patriarchal hierarchy. Yes, this is MoeâÇÖs story of triumph over violence, but it is also a call-to-action for both men and women.The ultimate goal ofáVictim: A Feminist Manifesto from a Fierce Survivoráis to provide tools for resistance against a culture of exploitation.
