TAKE IT AS A COMPLIMENT

Book ID/图书代码： 06930020C00034

English Summary/英文概要： "I was fifteen."

"I never saw him again."

"They chanted after me, ’Oscar the Grouch, Oscar the Grouch."

Bringing together the voices of males and females of all ages, the stories in this collective graphic memoir reflect real life experiences of sexual abuse, violence and harassment.

Each experience is brought to life by Maria Stoian’s exceptional artwork. Her unique and varied styles powerfully reflect the tone and mood of the different stories and in just a few pages express the complex emotions felt by victims of sexual abuse.

Covering acts such as sexual violence, public sexual harassment, domestic abuse and child abuse, this is a reminder for survivors that they are not alone and a call for all of us to take action. The stories clearly show that assault of any type is not an honour bestowed on anyone. It is not a compliment.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 「那時候我十五歲…」…

「後來我再也沒有見過他…」

「一開始我們只是回我家一起吃飯，後來他就是在這裡打我…」

這是關於性暴力的二十個故事，來自不同年齡層的男性和女性，性騷擾、語言暴力、情感勒索、身體暴力...所有這些故事都真實發生，由當事人在網路上以匿名分享，或是在訪談中談及。圖像藝術家Maria Stoian將這些故事畫成漫畫，以她獨特的風格透過短短幾頁和簡單的文字就讓人感受到性暴力受害者複雜的情緒。

這些故事必須被看見，必須被述說，每當有一個故事被分享，我們往往可聽見有人說「嘿，我也發生過...」即使這讓人難過這些事情有多普遍，但經驗的分享也能帶來巨大的力量，這能讓性暴力的存活者更好地處理他們的經驗，並讓這個社會意識到，因為透過聆聽、支持、看見、停止、尋求幫助，我們才能夠創造一個無法再容忍性暴力的社會。 (Zoe)
