Strength in Vulnerability: Reclaimed Voices of Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault

by Writing Wrongs Staff, Dawn Heinbach (Editor)

Overview

Writing Wrongs is a literary journalism project that illuminates the inequity in our society through the power of the pen and the lens. By telling the stories of those directly involved, Writing Wrongs offers a different and often-ignored perspective that challenges stereotypes and prejudices.

In this edition, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault share their stories.

College students who are accepted into the annual program spend Labor Day weekend at a specific location and immerse themselves in a specific social issue. They perform interviews, take pictures and videos, update our social media, and ultimately design a print file for publication. The goal of raising awareness is

accomplished by donating the student-created book to local and regional public and college libraries and relevant organizations. The book is also distributed world-wide.
