About The Author

Nikita Hand

Nikita Hand is a former hairdresser and debut author whose book, Not the Perfect Victim, charts her journey through trauma, resilience, and the pursuit of justice. She wrote it to challenge harmful myths around victimhood, believing that the stigma attached to the idea of the ‘perfect victim’ must change. She hopes her story shows that, no matter who someone is or where they come from, their voice and their experience matter.

Nikita is the mother of two girls and lives in Dublin with her partner Gary.
