American in Berlin combats sexual violence
In Germany 13 percent of women 16 years and older have been victims of sexual violence. Melanie Brazzell, a 27-year-old American living in Berlin, is committed to lowering that statistic. She spends her spare time to working with both survivors and perpetrators to help overcome and prevent sexual violence. Melanie founded an organization in Berlin and gives workshops based on the principles of transformative justice, which in this case means a focus on changing behavior rather than on tradition punishment.
