Who Gave You Permission? ― The Memoir of a Child Sexual-abuse Survivor Who Fought Back
商品簡介
Manny Waks was raised in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish family, the second oldest of seventeen children. As an adolescent, he was sexually abused at his religious school. Betrayed by those he trusted, Waks rebelled against his way of life, though he later went on to become a prominent Jewish community leader.
In mid-2011, Waks went public about his experiences, seeking to bring justice to the abusers and those who covered up their crimes. For his courage in speaking out, Manny and his family were intimidated and shunned by their community, and he was forced to leave Australia.
Nevertheless, Waks continues to advocate for survivors and to hold those in power to account. His pursuit of perpetrators led him to Crown Heights in Brooklyn and to Los Angeles, where he tracked down one of the Australian abusers and alerted the local Jewish communities to the international dimensions of the child sexual abuse problem.
Back in Australia, Waks was eventually vindicated by a royal commission into institutional child sexual abuse, and many of his attackers lost their positions of power and influence.
This is the story of a man who shattered a powerful code of silence, the battles he has fought, the vindication he has earned, and the extraordinary toll it has taken on his personal life and that of his loved ones.
Manny Waks is currently CEO of Kol v’Oz, an international organization with an office in New York, that he established to address child sexual abuse in the global Jewish community.
