The guide addresses sexual abuse and explicitly states that the victim is never to blame.
The book aims to explain forms of sexual abuse, prevention practices and what to do if it happens to the reader or someone they know.
Prepare for frank discussion of sexual assault, abuse, sexuality, dating and victimisation. The subject may feel emotionally difficult; read at a pace that allows questions and pauses rather than treating it as light general information.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: another book-specific source is still needed; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
