About:
There are many reasons why mind obstacles such as anxiety and depression can develop, and one of those can be due to experiencing domestic violence and or sexual abuse. “It’s not as simple as just leaving” is a series of interviews of POC survivors who provide advice, resources, and alternative healing methods – such as affirmations, poetry, and music – to help others struggling. The title is dedicated to all people who have been told “why don’t you just leave?” – as if it’s that easy. We hope you find comfort and hope in this zine, and learn about different types of domestic violence and sexual abuse.
