Your solidarity makes a difference to survivors, more than you know.
And remember, if you give before 15 October, every penny you donate will be doubled – meaning your impact will go twice as far.
Take your solidarity further: ow.ly/vHIZ50X8q9w

Survivors are being asked to recount unrelated reports of previous abuse in front of a jury, which can then be wrongly used to undermine their case – with devastating effects.
We're campaigning to change this. Join us. Write to your MP now. rapecrisis.org.uk/get-involv…

Despite being outnumbered 14 to 1 by men, women make up 21% of deaths in homeless hotels/bnbs. Sexual predation and exploitation is commonplace. We need to get women and children out of hotels and into safe accommodation! ✊💜 wingsoverscotland.com/the-fo…

We must do better as a society to tackle the shocking and unacceptable scale of sexual violence against women and girls in the UK.

The responses from the floor are passionate and remind me of a concept I heard a few weeks ago in South Africa 'a negligence of policy'. It was intended to alert us that some absences are deliberate and chosen- the neglect can be intentional
