It was the boiling point that propelled us to claim our #MeToo promise in earnest, through anger and activism. Many survivors were there in the midst of the hearings-- lobbying senators in hallways, staging sit-ins in offices, and rallying those at home to keep calling and tweeting their representatives. Ana Maria Archila, was one of the women who confronted Senator Jeff Flake. About this activism she said, “what happened in that elevator was the result of thousands and thousands of women survivors and survivors of all genders who are doing something incredibly dangerous and incredibly generous.” www.wcsap.org 2 3 CONNECTIONS www.wcsap.org 2019 The national Women’s Law Center, Know Your IX, End Rape on Campus, and other leading organizations sponsored survivors to travel to D.C. to lobby their senators in person and participate in actions. Leah Green was one of those who was there, too. A survivor who works in the anti-sexual violence movement, Leah activated her support system and went to D.C. with organizers all over the country to speak out. She generously agreed to talked about her experience with us. Editor: You were present in DC at protests related I have found that sometimes when to the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, what I do things that really trigger my made you decide to go? survivorship or are really hard, it It just felt right.

  • Honoring the Truth: a Response to the Backlash
    HONORING THE TRUTH: A RESPONSE TO THE BACKLASH by ELLEN BASS and LAURA DAVIS from THE COURAGE TO HEAL: A GUIDE FOR WOMEN SURVIVORS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE THIRD EDITION, 1994 published by HarperCollins “Honoring the Truth” is a response to the current backlash against adult survivors of child sexual abuse. If you’ve watched TV, listened to the radio, or read newspapers or magazines in the past two years, it’s likely that you’ve heard about the “false memory syndrome” and have witnessed attacks on survivors’ memories and credibility. It is these attacks we are responding to here. As in the rest of The Courage to Heal, we have included the experiences of survivors as well as practical self-help information. Unlike the rest of the book, however, we also incorporate here the work of therapists, researchers, and other experts—and more than a hundred footnotes—to place this backlash in a historical and political perspective.1 A number of survivors and professionals have read “Honoring the Truth.” Most appreciated having clear information and an analysis of the issues. One survivor wrote to us, “I felt a lot of the cloudiness of the issue fall away—I felt reassured and validated.” Another said, “I am not as likely to get sucked into the fear and doubt that the backlash is trying to perpetuate.” Yet this same survivor said it had been a lot harder to read than she 1 In writing The Courage to Heal, we listened to survivors of child sexual abuse and presented what we learned in a clear, practical, and respectful way.

  • Wrongful Conviction and the Moral Panic About Organized Child Abuse: National and International Perspectives
    Grometstein Moral panic about organized child abuse Page 1 of 34 Wrongful Conviction and the Moral Panic About Organized Child Abuse: National and International Perspectives Randall Grometstein, J.D., Ph.D. Fitchburg State College Fitchburg, Massachusetts 01420 January 15, 2005 Revised December 19, 2005 Accepted 8/1/06 for publication in Wrongful Conviction: International Perspectives on Miscarriages of Justice, ed. C. Ronald Huff and Martin Kilias, forthcoming from Temple University Press. Final version submitted September 15, 2006. Grometstein Moral panic about organized child abuse Page 2 of 34 Abstract In North America, a moral panic about daycare workers and other caregivers engaging in ritual abuse and sexual abuse of children began in the early 1980s and quickly spread to the rest of the United States and Canada. By 1986 the organized abuse moral panic had crossed the Atlantic to the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and affected Australia and New Zealand as well. Western Europe has been troubled by stories of sexual and satanic danger to children since the 1990s, and in 2004, seventeen people were tried on charges of organized abuse in Outreau, France, a trial that led to an official apology to the accused and a governmental inquiry into the prosecution. This chapter argues that the moral panic about organized child abuse resulted in the wrongful conviction of many defendants. I also examine factors found by C. Ronald Huff and his colleagues (Huff, Rattner et al. 1996; Huff 2004) to contribute to wrongful conviction. Four of those factors – overzealousness by police and prosecutors; false and coerced confessions and improper interrogations; forensic errors, incompetence and fraud; and the adversary system itself – played a role in the organized abuse cases.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies by an authorized editor of Schulich Law Scholars. For more information, please contact [email protected]. FALSE MEMORY SYNDROME: "THE FEMALE MALADY" 1 ERIN BRADyt The theory of memory repression has been both relied on by adult survivors as evidence of sexual crimes committed against them, and endorsed by many of the higher courts in Canada, including the Supreme Court of Canada. Advocates of the false memory syndrome refute the scientific validity of repressed memories, and vigorously oppose their judicial acceptance, by contending that recovered memories of childhood abuse are more often the product of a therapeudic relationship gone wrong. An examination of the manner in which the false memory syndrome is being pleaded by defence counsel, and heard by Canadian courts, reveals that it is a decidedly gendered phenomenon and employed almost exclusively to describe female experience. The article explores the anti-women stereotypes which underlie the defence and seeks to demonstrate the extent to which the false memory syndrome represents a formidable obstacle to all survivors of sexual abuse seeking legal redress.

  • The Courage to Heal" by Robert Sheaffer the Courage to Heal
    4/22/2018 Book Review: "The Courage to Heal" by Robert Sheaffer The Courage to Heal A Guide for Women Survivors of Sexual Abuse by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis (New York: Perennial Library, Harper & Row, 1988) reviewed by Robert Sheaffer (July, 1994) Among rational persons this book has rightfully acquired an aura of infamy, like that of the Malleus Maleficarum, or Senator McCarthy's list. Few books of modern times have resulted in so much harm. Most of us have seen a few outrageous quotes from it like "if you are unable to remember any specific instances like the ones mentioned above but still have a feeling that something abusive happened to you, it probably did" (p.21), and "demands for proof are unreasonable" (p. 137). There is absolutely no solid research to support the view of "recovered memories" promoted in this book, and a great deal of evidence against it. [1] The approach being used by the "survivors" movement is much like that traditionally employed by fundamentalist Christian churches: convince someone that they have a serious problem of which they previously were unaware ("forgotten abuse", "original sin", etc), then proclaim that you alone can offer them the solution to the problem, and subsequent misery, that you have created. The psychology underlying this book is, at best, exceedingly dubious: "The human mind has tremendous powers of repression. Many children are able to forget about the abuse, even as it is happening to them" (p. 42). The authors likewise seem to have no qualms in violating what is known about medicine and physics as well.

Collectively it calls for cultural change and transformation of attitudes and beliefs about power, gender, race and sexuality. We Believe You: Survivors of Campus Sexual Assault Speak Out by Annie E. Clark "We Believe You" is a great compilation of campus sexual assault survivor stories. It allows the reader to tap into the personal experiences of survivors from all gender identities, races, religious backgrounds and sexual orientations. One focal point of this book are the responses from the colleges or universities if/when survivors chose to report and the consequences for the perpetrator or lack thereof. This book also provides ideas for how some activists, survivors and allies are working to bring more awareness to just how prevalent sexual assaults really are on college campuses and universities.

  • They Couldn't Get My Soul': Recovered Memories, Ritual Abuse
    Studies in Religion / Sciences Religieuses 1–19 ª The Author(s) / Le(s) auteur(s), 2018 They Couldn’t Get My Reprints and permission/ Reproduction et permission: Soul: Recovered sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0008429817748138 Memories, Ritual Abuse, journals.sagepub.com/home/sr and the Specter(s) of Religious Difference Megan Goodwin Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA Abstract: During the 1980s and early 1990s, hundreds of women recovered memories of suffering extraordinary and nefarious torments at the hands of loved ones and trusted authority figures—a phenomenon that came to be known as satanic ritual abuse (SRA). In this article, I argue that late twentieth-century satanic ritual abuse discourse helped perpetuate intolerance toward non-Christian religions and foreclose conditions of possibility for benign religious difference in the United States. Psychological diagnoses related to satanic ritual abuse fueled popular anxieties regarding the sexual peril of American minority religions. Perpetuating diagnoses of satanic ritual abuse reinforced popular suspicions that religious minorities are dangerous, particularly when it comes to matters of sexuality. Re´sume´ : Au cours des anne´es 1980 et 1990, des centaines de femmes ame´ricaines ont raconte´ avoir e´te´ victimes de violences religieuses extraordinaires de la part de leurs proches (famille et figures d’autorite´). Ce phe´nome`ne a e´te´ de´signe´ par le terme de SRA (satanic ritual abuse). Cet article avance l’hypothe`se selon laquelle ces re´cits d’abus sataniques rituels ont soutenu et encourage´ un discours d’intole´rance envers les religions non-chre´tiennes aux E´tats-Unis.
