Synopsis

This book provides a "lifeline" of information and skills for the most basic of human needs-personal safety. Male violence against women in all its forms remains a leading cause of death, disability, and injury to women of all ages in the United States. Lifelines offers a comprehensive, holistic approach to being safe and staying safe. From the psychological impact of trauma and how it destroys self-protective capacity, to the who, what, where, and how of violence against women, this book promotes hope, knowledge, skill building and competency as counteractions to fear and violence. Lifelines advances personal safety by weaving the personal, the political, and the pragmatic on a subject often ignored and systematically distorted. This book articulates the necessity and means for women to strengthen individual resources to care for themselves, to embrace safety, to learn defensive skills and behaviors, and ultimately promotes a social permission to do so.
