Smashed Peaches: A Creative Anthology About Surviving Violence

SMASHED PEACHES IS A UNIQUE ACTIVIST ANTHOLOGY ALL ABOUT EXPERIENCING AND SURVIVING VIOLENCE. This diverse collection contains uncensored poetry, flash fiction, short stories, diary entries, scripts and essays written by an array of talented women and non-binary people who have courageously shared their harrowing personal experiences. Raw, vulnerable, and incredibly moving, it offers a therapeutic space and a shared platform of survival and solace. Violence, discrimination, harassment, and the threat of it, are regrettably all too often a part of women and non-binary people's lives, irrespective of nationality, class, ethnicity, sexuality, faith, or gender. At its heart, it is a shared problem of humanity, and the global contributors, hailing from the UK, Malaysia, India, Romania, Tunisia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine, and the UAE, are all unified in their cry for worldwide change. This anthology aims to empower readers bysharing traumatic experiences with the world, and celebrating the bravery, vulnerability, and honesty of all who have contributed to this powerful collection. Each entry represents the voices of those who have been systematicallystifled for too long, shedding a beacon of light on a matter so often buried in the dark. It is, at once, a call for action and a message of hope.
