Women who are survivors of abuse, often feel shame. This may be due to negative societal attitudes and victim blaming, which can be internalised. Negative beliefs about the self, as well as the trauma experienced by many survivors, can affect their mental health. This project aimed to support survivors by shifting their beliefs and feelings of shame through creative writing and the development of a Zine.
