Violence against girls and women, from dating violence and stalking to sexual assault and female genital cutting, is unfortunately all too common. This series provides information that all women--indeed, all people--should be aware of, whether or not they themselves may fall prey to dangerous situations. After introducing the problem, each volume will give readers resources for seeking legal, medical, and therapeutic help and coping with the physical and emotional fallout (including PTSD symptoms). Ultimately, this series provides prudent, authoritative information for young women on how to stay safe, where to go for help, and how to recover.
