Despite the current survivor-affirming awareness around sexual violence, child sexual abuse, most notably when it’s a family member or friend, is still a taboo topic. There are approximately 42 million child sexual abuse survivors in the U.S. and millions of bystanders who look the other way when abuse occurs and cover for the harm-doers. Filmmaker and survivor of child sexual abuse and adult rape, Aishah Shahidah Simmons invites diasporic Black people to join her in transformative storytelling that envisions a world that ends this abuse. Love WITH Accountability features compelling writings by child sexual abuse survivors, advocates, and Simmons’s mother.
