Jehovah's Witnesses: No One Tells You What Happens After You Escape

Deskripsi

Désirée Ohrbeck grew up in Denmark in the rigid control of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. She survived CSA from her stepfather, and when she sought help from religious leaders, she was dismissed, blamed, and told to retract her statement to the police. She explains how she went from a house where books were banned, to becoming a professor. However, deconstruction is incredibly lonely and challenging. Lingering effects of the trauma impact her daily life. Watch our initial interview with Désirée here: https://youtu.be/SeCsovXjHaI?si=o26C9MqBvcNupxoR Find and support Désirée!
