Welcome to Aphrodite Wounded!
My name is Louise. I am a survivor of domestic violence, which included repeated sexual assault and rape.I created this site both as a survivor and activist. Because rape by intimate partners is often not seen as "real" rape,
survivors often have difficulty finding validation and help.
This site aims to give validation and shatter the myths about what real rape is.
If you are a survivor of marital/partner rape in the past, or are facing it now, I hope this site is helpful to you.
You are definitely not alone.
See My Book!
I am also co-author with Dr. Patricia Easteal of the book
Real Rape Real Pain: Help for Women Sexually assaulted by male partners, which draws on the voices of 30 survivors of marital/partner rape from around the world. You'll find information about defining and naming partner rape, Post-traumatic stress disorder, healing, sexuality, future relationships, the legal process plus much more.You can go here to read more about the book.
