Praise for Megan Pohlman and RAISE YOUR VOICE
“If there were ever a story to promote not being a silent bystander to sexual assault
this is it. Megan uses language throughout the story that will keep adults and chil-
dren, alike, engrossed. My emotions ran the gambit throughout the story – anger,
sadness, jubilation. Having been an Internet Safety Advocate for over 8 years, I feel
Megan has covered sexual misconduct issues extensively.”
Bill Latchford, Speaker / Internet Safety Advocate
“Raise Your Voice is a wonderful book for anyone who has dealt with abuse. Through
the characters in the book, Megan Pohlman does an amazing job of capturing the
importance of not turning a blind eye. Rather, it empowers us to take action and
help our friends and family become successful, strong, and confident individuals.”
Dr. Sue Cornbluth, National Expert in Trauma and Abuse
“If you are looking for a book that can address the complex issue of sexual harass-
ment in a straightforward and jargon free way; Raise Your Voice by Megan Pohlman
is what you need. It is for everyone: employees, employers, supervisors but most
importantly targets and actors of sexual harassment. This is a must-have and must-
read handbook for all employees and supervisors.”
Suzanne Wilson, Northampton Daily Gazette
“This is a well written book the weaves through multiple tales of multiple women
who have suffered violent sexual acts and also clearly illustrates the problems in
prosecuting these acts. The book also describes the trauma women suffer and its
lasting effects. Anyone who has a daughter getting ready for college should have
them read this book so they don’t end up in some of these terrible situations.”
Stuart Peinser, Rutgers University
“Megan Pohlman did a great job of presenting the facts and educating people about
sexual assault and misconduct. As we learn more about how a victim responds after
encountering sexual violence, I believe more cases will be successfully prosecuted.
And as more cases are successfully prosecuted, I also believe that more victims will
come forward and not be afraid to tell their story.”
Susan Estrich, USC Gould School of Law
