100 Women I Know
Speak to the women around you - your mothers, daughters, sisters and friends. Speak to them and you will find that each of them has a story to tell.
Based on the documentary by award-winning filmmaker Phoebe Montague, this book brings together the experiences of over one-hundred survivors of rape and sexual assault. The anonymous stories in this book were collected through original research, and have been brought together to expose common threads within experiences of sexual violence to further the understanding of consent, and to help prevent men and women from becoming perpetrators or survivors of sexual violence. But these stories are not the only ones that need to be told.
With this book, we hope to continue the conversation on rape and sexual assault and to empower young women to share their stories.
“I hope that this book and film collaboration will help strengthen solidarity between survivors and be a catalyst for change towards what is such a huge and pressing issue.”
