I'm saying no! : standing up against sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sexual pressure

Engel, Beverly. (Author).

Summary: "Thanks to the #MeToo movement, more and more women are coming forward to tell their stories of sexual assault, harassment, and child sexual abuse. But unfortunately there are still many women who are afraid to speak out. There are still far too many college students who are raped and too afraid to report it. There are still women who are being subjected to sexual harassment, sexual bullying, and sexual pressure every day but are unable to speak up and say "No!" And there are still women who are currently being sexually assaulted in their intimate relationships who are unable to report the abuse or to find the strength to walk away. Written specifically for women who are still afraid to speak up for themselves, especially women whose personal history of child sexual abuse or sexual assault, as an adult has wounded them so much they have lost their voice. I'm saying No! will help all women find their voice and their courage so they can better resist all forms of sexual violence." --
