Jill Saward (1965–2017)
Autor de Rape: My Story
Sobre El Autor
Jill Saward was born in Liverpool, England on January 14, 1965. At the age of 21, an armed gang broke into the vicarage used by her father, an Anglican priest, and her family. Some members of the gang repeatedly raped her, while another man burglarized the house. Later all members of the gang were mostrar más caught and convicted, but the case drew criticism after the rapists received substantially shorter prison sentences than the man who had carried out the burglary. She became an advocate for victims of sexual assault. In 1990, she became the first person in Britain to waive her right to anonymity as a victim of rape. She wrote a book with Wendy Green entitled Rape: My Story. She also trained judges and police officers on how to treat rape victims. She died from a subarachnoid hemorrhage on January 5, 2017 at the age of 51. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos
