NEVER A VICTIM: Testimonials
“NEVER A VICTIM is a meticulously researched, compassionate, and actionable manual dedicated to equipping women with the tools to navigate a world where physical and sexual violence remain pervasive threats. Authored with a blend of urgency and empathy, this book transcends conventional self-help guides by addressing both prevention and response, rooted in psychological insights, real-world case studies, and expert analysis. While unflinching in its portrayal of dangers, the book avoids sensationalism. The author acknowledges the emotional weight of these topics, repeatedly affirming that victim-blaming is inexcusable and that survival is a testament to strength. Chapters on domestic abuse and intuition particularly shine, offering scripts for boundary-setting and trusting gut instincts—an antidote to societal gas lighting
NEVER A VICTIM is more than a safety manual—it’s a manifesto for reclaiming autonomy in an unequal world. Its greatest achievement lies in transforming fear into agency, offering women not just strategies to survive, but to thrive with unapologetic vigilance. This book is essential reading for women of all ages, survivors seeking healing, allies committed to combatting gender-based violence, and educators shaping safer communities.”

“Kaiser’s in-depth examination of multi-layered issues surrounding violence against women leaves no question as to the unjust yet depraved realities women regularly face. His raw account of stark realities are balanced by faith in women’s innate abilities to survive. NEVER A VICTIM is a transformative resource arming women with vital tools and empowerment critical to women taking an active role in their personal safety. “
Iva Rody, Chief Operating Officer, National Center for Victims of Crime, USA
“NEVER A VICTIM by Robert Kaiser is one of the most comprehensive violence reduction tools for women I have ever encountered. With a thoughtful and non-patronizing approach, Kaiser lays out the foundations of awareness and personal safety, providing clear, actionable strategies to avoid becoming a target of violence. As a survivor of partner-initiated domestic violence, I wish someone had given me the knowledge found in this book sooner. Recognizing the early warning signs could have given me the courage to leave before the situation escalated and allowed me to not blame myself for it all. Kaiser’s ability to explain not just what to do but why it matters is what makes this book so powerful. Through real-life stories and his expert insights, he equips readers with the mindset and tools to take control of their safety.”
Mel Cortez, Founder and CEO of TACTBook
“NEVER A VICTIM aims to strip away the blame that society often places on victims. It encourages readers to examine how societal pressures can lead women to ignore their instincts, sometimes unwittingly endangering their safety. By highlighting the physical signs of intuition, the narrative invites readers to reconnect with and trust this essential aspect of themselves. The critical message emphasises the importance of listening to your inner voice and urges everyone to unconditionally support and believe survivors.“
Lyndsey Dearlove, Global Director of Operations at The NO MORE Foundation.
“Empowering women with tools to enhance their personal safety is crucial in the ongoing fight against Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). By fostering preparedness and empowerment, NEVER A VICTIM plays a vital role in challenging the conditions that enable VAWG, helping women to live more securely and independently. This book is a very powerful and compelling read.”
