Abstract
We felt the need for a network for
promoting change in response to
non-recent child sexual abuse,
and established this in 2021.
It is a collective of survivors,
clinicians and academics all of
whom identify with two or three
of these labels.
We are a diverse group, but what
unites us is a commitment to
understanding and alleviating
the suffering of child sexual
abuse survivors; through
education, ally-ship and
awareness-raising.
We hosted our inaugural
conference in May 2022 on the
subject of talking about nonrecent child sexual abuse. We are
also developing an edited book, to
be published in 2024. However,
we wanted to reach beyond
traditional forms of knowledge
sharing, to offer something more
widely accessible and engaging.
This is where the idea for this
Zine came from; a motivation to
reach out using creative media
to share some of our thoughts
on how we can find new ways of
talking about this age old social
and ethical problem. We dedicate
this Zine to all the survivors who
have not yet had their voices
listened to.
