Christina Clemm: An Unrestrained Plea - Reading and Discussion with Andrea Zimmermann in the series Girl, Woman, Other

Description

“Christina Clemm speaks out what we do not want to hear: Violence reflects the social conditions in which it occurs. What we need to know, what we can do, is in this urgently necessary book.” (Maria Furtwängler)
For almost thirty years, lawyer Christina Clemm has been committed to victims of gender-based and racially motivated violence in her work. As a family law attorney and criminal defense lawyer, she has fought countless times for the truth of the victims, in the name of relatives, abused, sold, raped individuals, fighting for justice. And she is sure: what happens in courtrooms concerns us all.
In “An Unrestrained Plea” (Hanser Berlin, 2026), the author, awarded as “BücherFrau 2025,” takes us into the trial and shows where society fails – and how a solidaric and just future is possible.
