Description
The Girls in Skirts is a project based in truth, the names have been changed to protect the innocent (and the guilty) but the details remain. Meet Claudia, June and Maddie, three very different women with very different stories all connected by one place. The single strand that connects all three of these women is a church, more particularly a strict Pentecostal church. All three women somehow found themselves making an exit from the church that helped to raise them. Claudia exited after she was forced to come to terms with abuse that she endured at the hands of a minister. Maddie left after a long and painful marriage that forced her to examine what she believed and why. June left even when she swore she never, ever would. She did not leave because things were too hard, or because she got hurt, but because she was tired of hurting others. The true stories of these three very different women intertwine and tell pieces of the real stories of women who have risen up and left Pentecostal and Apostolic churches all over the world. Trigger Warnings Include: Grooming, Guilt & Shame Tactics, Spiritual Manipulation
