On the Front Line with the Women Who Fight Back
On the Front Line with the Women Who Fight Back | Stacey Dooley
4 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
Put yourself in their shoes. In 2007, Stacey Dooley was a twenty-something working in fashion retail. She was selected to take part in the BBC series Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts which saw her live and work alongside Indian factory workers making clothes for the UK High Street. This sparked her series of hugely popular investigations, establishing her as one of BBC3s most celebrated presenters. Through the course of her documentary making, Stacey has covered a variety of topics, from sex trafficking in Cambodia, to Yazidi women fighting back in Syria. At the core of her reporting are incredible women in extraordinary and scarily ordinary circumstances from sex workers in Russia, to victims of domestic violence in Honduras. In her first book, On the Front Line with the Women Who Fight Back, Stacey draws on her encounters with these brave and wonderful women, using their experiences as a vehicle to explore issues at the centre of female experience. From gender equality and domestic violence, to sex trafficking and sexual identity, Stacey weaves these global strands together in an exploration of what it is to be women in the world today.

Fantastic must read book. I'd love to sit down with Stacey and have a chat about all the incredible experiences she's had. This book is very hard hitting and emotional, but told in a down to earth, matter of fact yet warm manner without pulling at the heart strings. It took me a good while to get through it as it's hard to digest the trauma of what you've just read and it's quite relentless. Every chapter could be a book of its own.
