Publisher Note

According to an Amnesty International survey, in Switzerland, one woman in five has already undergone non-consensual sexual acts, and more than one woman in ten has experienced sexual intercourse against her will *.

“By asking the women close to me who felt concerned by these statistics, I found that these figures were true and I decided to dedicate a work to their stories. As a young female photographer, it seems essential to me to address this problematic and systemic social fact.”
- Aline Bovard Rudaz

“The absence of visual imagery of violence against women has contributed for years to society's ignorance – and even more so to tolerance – of this type of violence.”
- Ariella Azoulay

* Results of a representative survey conducted between March 16 and April 15, 2019 in Switzerland among some 4,500 women (aged 16 and over) by the research institute gfs.bern on behalf of Amnesty International.
