Gaddafi's Harem

In "Gaddafi’s Harem," journalist Annick Cojean recounts the harrowing story of Soraya, a young schoolgirl from Sirte whose life takes a tragic turn after a seemingly innocuous meeting with Colonel Gaddafi. Summoned to his compound, Soraya becomes one of many women subjected to horrific abuse at Gaddafi's hands. This poignant account not only shares Soraya's experiences but also sheds light on the widespread culture of silence surrounding sexual violence in Libya. The audiobook highlights the bravery of women like Soraya, whose voices are emerging in a society resistant to acknowledging such traumas.
