About

Interpersonal violence experienced by men is a problem that is still relatively unknown, even taboo. Beyond the Wounds (Tracer les maux) is a literary project that aims at demystifying realities of male survivors of interpersonal childhood trauma through the power of art, and to deconstruct some harmful norms of masculinity..

Beyond the Wounds features seven authors and six illustrators, inspired by excerpts from interviews with men who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. This allowed to create words and images which evoke the reality of male survivors, impacts of these traumas, and their healing journeys.
