Rape Culture and Spiritual Violence: Religion, Testimony, and Visions of Healing - Paperback

by Gina Messina-Dysert (Author)

Rape Culture and Spiritual Violence examines sexual violence against women, how religion and society contribute to a rape culture, and the extreme suffering endured by rape victims as a result. Using the testimony of women who have experienced both rape and the consequences of rape culture - from a range of religious, cultural, ethnic, and social contexts - the book explores both the suffering and healing of rape victims from WWII to today.
