Voices Against Violence : Survivors Share Their Stories of Stalking and Abuse

Melissa has a Masters Degree in Development and Emergency Practice and has travelled to disaster and conflict zones in various countries to study and write about the strength of human resilience in the face of adversity. In 2019, whilst living in South Africa she was violently attacked by her partner who then commenced a campaign of threatening psychological abuse against her. She fled to the UK fearing for her life, but her perpetrator followed her and persisted in stalking her until he was eventually arrested and convicted. Melissa met with other women who had survived similar experiences, and recognising that improvements needed to be made with regard to reporting such crimes, she felt compelled to write this book: 'Voices Against Violence: Survivors Share Their Stories of Stalking and Abuse'. Her book not only provides a voice for survivors, but also includes vital information and helpful guidance for victims to be able to work in a more positive and collaborative way with the police to ultimately achieve the justice and protection they deserve.
