Gender Violence Quotes

“The other faction, far less visible or influential, arose in the marginalized communities, among women - Black, brown, queer, trans, poor, disabled - whom the state has never protected. These abolition feminists have learned from experience that prisons do not end violence, but rather perpetrate and perpetuate it, while destroying individual lives, families, and communities. Like a lot of their compatriots in the carceral feminist movement, many are themselves survivors of sexual harm. But, unlike the other contingent, their politics join the struggle against sexual and gender violence with that against the "white supremacist prison nation," to use the term coined by abolitionist scholar Beth E. Richie.”

“People are dying because they are trying to prove they are strong. Being strong doesn't mean you have to fight everything alone. It doesn't mean you have to go through what you are going through alone . It doesn't mean you have to bundle, all the pain, problems and suffering , but being STRONG it means asking help & advice when you have to. Asking for guidance & directions when needed. Choosing to speak to someone than holding everything inside. Speak to someone on what you are going through .It takes a courage and that is being strong when you choose to speak out .”

“The violent sexualization of prison life within women's institutions raises a number of issues that may help us develop further our critique of the prison system. (...) For women, the continuity of treatment from the free world to the universe of the prison is even more complicated, since they also confront forms of violence in prison that they have confronted in their homes and intimate relationships .”
