In 1979 in response to 12 murders of black women in Boston in the space of three months, the Combahee River Collective (mission statement exerpted here…email brokenbeautifulpress@gmail.com for an educational full copy) created and self-published a document about violence against black women and created a series of creative artistic public demonstrations affirming the right of all women to live. In 2006 in response to verbal, physical and ideological violence against women of color and sex workers and people who have survived sexual assault in Durham North Carolina, UBUNTU in partnership with Men Against Rape Culture (MARC) created and self-published a document on how to support survivors of sexual violence.

We’re still trying to work out the kinks, but HERE is where the submissions will be from now on. My intern Christina (who is MAGICAL and deserves a million hugs for her hard work) uploaded the first one hundred images that were backlogged, and will slowly be adding more of the backlogged ones as we go. You can also upload straight to the website. Thanks so much for your patience as we figure it out.

Catharsis: Trans Women’s Stories of Sexual Violence

Call For Submissions

Catharsis: Trans Women’s Stories of Sexual Violence is seeking written submissions from trans women who are willing to share their experiences of sexual violence and assault. The goal is to create a book-length collection of personal essays and stories from trans women about their individual experiences. Through compiling these stories, we hope to counteract the tendency of broader feminist dialog to deal with the subject of violence against trans women as hypothetical, ethereal, and comparatively minimal. We also hope that such a compilation would reinforce the place of trans women among all women and help to bring support and healing to our often overlooked communities.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS JULY 31ST, 2012!  

For Submission Form Please go to: http://catharsisproject.wufoo.com/forms/catharsis-submission-form/
