The ongoing silence points to the still-taboo intersection of two subjects: sexual assault and sexuality. Sex After Sexual Assault explores this crossroads through the lens of survivors' own stories.

Jean-Charles Bouchoux quiere visibilizar este fenómeno, desvelar los mecanismos psicológicos que lo desencadenan y ofrecernos herramientas y pautas para superarlo.
