The article examines different aspects of silence around sexual abuse and stresses the need for an intersectional approach to this problem. It references works by Marlon James, Dahlia de la Cerda, Inga Iwasiów, Andrzej Stasiuk, and Martyna Bunda. The literature discussed includes contributions from the humanities, such as literary studies, as well as sociological research on sexual violence. The author integrates a poetological analysis of the narrative with insights from social and cultural contexts.
