Sexual Violence, Intangible Harm, and the Promise of Transformative Remedies This Article describes alternative remedies that survivors of sexual violence can access inside and outside the legal system. It describes the leading restorative justice approaches and recommends one of the newest and most innovative of those-"transformative justice"-to heal the intangible harms of sexual violence. The Article also discusses the intersectional effects of sexual violence on women of color and their communities. It explains the importance of transformative justice's intersectional approach to redress sexual violence. Transformative justice offers community-based, victim-centric methods that cultivate deep, lasting healing for sexual violence survivors and their communities, with genuine accountability for those who have caused harm. Although transformative justice has developed outside the legal system, its principles and methods are targeted toward the unique, often intangible harms experienced by sexual violence survivors. Therefore, transformative justice remedies should be available alongside and inside the legal system so survivors, their impacted communities, and those who cause harm can benefit from them.

[...]who gets to decide?' Like, they can shove it up their ass." Instead, she wants to be human, to be vulnerable, to let her life veer off-pitch once in a while, so that "maybe some kid out there" - in a society that offers a selfie-tweaking app called Facetune - "would be like, 'Oh, that's OK, to be just a person. In a New York court last February, Kesha burst into tears as a judge ruled against her request for a quick injunction that would allow her to record for a different label. (The same judge later dismissed the bulk of her case, in a decision Kesha is appealing even as Dr. Luke's defamation lawsuit continues, with no trial date in sight.) As photos of that moment and word of the judgment spread, her cause became an international sensation, with many of music's most famous women (and some men) expressing solidarity: [...]began her habit of piling on a series of "by-choice scars."
