This is another book I borrowed from the library and read towards my 2017 reading challenges. It's about a topic that there seems to be little known about or is often misrepresented or misunderstood. This book is just a short introduction with some personal stories and a number of facts and figures. There is a handy glossary of terms at the back along with a suggested reading list for those who may want to go deeper and learn more about what is a more complex issue than meets the eye and goes beyond many of the unfortunate stereotypes often portrayed in the media. For anyone who wants to know more about this complex issue this is probably a good place to start.
