BOOKS BY KAREN BIJKERSMA
The Book Every Woman Needs to Read: Women Speak Out About Gendered Domestic Violence - 28 Stories of Survival
Paperback and ebook available via Amazon Aus, USA and internationally.
When women talk about domestic violence, many refer to the moment that “the penny dropped”. That’s what happened to author Karen Bijkersma when she suddenly recognised that she was in an abusive relationship.
But the realisation doesn’t always hit home until you can put a name to the abuse, which in Karen’s case was STD: Sexually Transmitted Debt, a form of financial abuse, which affects one is six women in Australia.
Since leaving that relationship and reclaiming her voice, Karen has collected stories from women from all walks of life who bravely share their experiences of gendered domestic abuse and violence.
By speaking out about what goes on behind closed doors, the hope is that other women will be forewarned and will be spared the same ordeal.
