Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the inadequacies in the legal definition of torture, this book explores how psychological and sexualized violence against women is often overlooked. It provides critical insights from over a decade of research and interviews with experts and survivors, highlighting the consequences of narrow definitions on those affected. By addressing the social silencing of torturous violence, it encourages readers to rethink and expand their understanding of the impacts of various forms of abuse, advocating for a more comprehensive approach to recognizing and addressing torture.
