Season 2 Episode 20: The Victim/Perpetrator Continuum + Healing from Gender-Based Violence with Sheva Carr

“The root word of heal comes from the word hallae, which means to make whole.

And so we can never create wholeness by polarizing with half of humanity based on gender, race, behavior, or anything else.”

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses gender-based violence and sex trafficking. If these are triggers for you, we want to give you the choice to skip this episode. Feel free to listen to any of our previous episodes.

One in three women has suffered from gender-based violence in their lifetime around the world and the average age of entry into the sex trade globally is 9 years old and 12 years old in the US.
