Liz Alexander - She Dreams of Freedom

Beyond MeToo: Healing the Wounds of Sexual Trauma

“For young women and girls, overwhelmingly, the silence results in funneling them further into a system of violence. So they go from personal and interpersonal violence to structural and systemic violence, ultimately leading them to incarceration.”

In this interview, Liz shares her thoughts on sexual violence both from the perspective of her professional work advocating for at-risk girls, as well from a more personal lens, as the daughter of an incest survivor. The mission of her consulting group, She Dreams of Freedom, is to improve the outcomes of young women and girls in the criminal and juvenile justice system. In this interview she talks about the importance of seeing these girls, what you can do to help and how in the act of “helping” we often find our own healing.
