Living in the aftermath of sexual violence

Winnie M Li is an author, activist and founder of the Clear Lines Festival - the UK’s first-ever festival addressing sexual assault and consent through the arts and discussion. She was working as a film producer when, on a visit to Belfast, she was followed and brutally raped by a stranger. She describes the profound, destructive impact that the rape had on her sense of self.
