A hugely inspirational and practical guide for those dealing with trauma or wondering how to make a difference.

Harrison James knows pain – but he also knows purpose. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Harrison transformed his darkest experiences into a powerful force for change, taking on Australia’s political system to fight for justice. In this compelling blend of memoir and guide, Harrison takes readers behind the scenes of his campaign to end outdated protections for convicted sex offenders.

From navigating the media spotlight and the halls of Parliament to reckoning with the scars he’s been left with, Harrison’s journey is a deeply personal invitation to join him in using your pain to challenge the status quo and create change, whether it be in your personal life or on the national stage.

Transform Your Pain into Purpose isn’t just a story; it’s a call to action for anyone ready to stand up, find their voice and make a difference.

About the Author

Harrison James is a survivor, award-winning activist and co-founder of the acclaimed #YourReferenceAintRelevant campaign. After being sexually abused by his stepmother between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, Harrison has become driven by his personal experiences and is dedicated to reforming Australia’s legal system for survivors. For years, he carried the weight of this secret in silence; but now, in his late twenties, his tireless activism has fuelled legislative reform across multiple Australian jurisdictions. He spotlights survivor-led initiatives, showcasing resilience and determination in pursuit of justice and healing. His extraordinary journey has been a beacon of hope for countless individuals and his unwavering commitment inspires a safer world for all.
