We have just 4 weeks left to get our petition seen by the Government.
Civil justice exists.
But it’s priced out of reach.
Justice shouldn't be a luxury.
Let’s make it free.

Sexual coercion can make you feel guilty, but it is abusive and a form of violence. It is never your fault. Sexual predators gaslight and psychologically manipulate their victims, which is hard to identify in that moment. #SexualCoercion#Gaslighting#SVPA#BelieveSurvivors
Language matters.
When media, regulators, institutions, and communities use the right words, survivors are respected and perpetrators are held accountable.
This is our call to action:
✔️ Name the crime.
✔️ Point out the perpetrator.
✔️ Refuse to erase survivors in language.
Let’s reshape how abuse is reported on.

We do not demand that a stabbing victim explain their past choices, their habits, or their state of mind at the time of the attack. We do not suspect that perhaps they had “led on” their assailant, or secretly wanted to be harmed.
And yet, for survivors of s3xual violence, these are the very questions that prevent them from speaking, that isolate them, that make them believe – falsely – that they carry the blame.
Saying “her truth” implies there’s another side that’s equally valid - as if abuse or coercion are matters of opinion.
But there aren’t multiple versions. There’s only THE truth.
Language shapes how we see responsibility, power, and harm. Let’s choose words that make accountability clear.
Name the crime. Point out the perpetrator. Rewrite the blame.

When I fought for 5 years to make it mandatory for judges in Canada to take sexual assault law training, this is what I hoped for. All rape cases should be presided over w this level of awareness. An inspiring judge. Wish they were all like this.
Social media platforms are key spaces for awareness, advocacy, and support; the censorship of terms such as "r@pe" and "s3xual assault" raises important concerns.
No survivor should have to censor their reality to speak out. outcrywitness.com/censorship…#ProtectSurvivorVoices
No one starts with rape, least of all a 15-year old.
Sexual violence is an escalatory crime.
And the judge, of all people, should have known that.
Instead he assumed, bizarrely, that the boys had jumped from good behaviour to full-blown rape.

The fact this has to be said in 2026 is utterly mind blowing. R@pe is a power and control crime. It’s a misogynistic crime. Girls and women get the life sentence of trauma. Some don’t survive it. Boys and men who r@pe girls and women are unsafe to be in the community. Take action ⬇️

'I'm deeply shocked that these individuals were able to gain their freedom'
French rape survivor Gisèle Pelicot has spoken exclusively to #BBCBreakfast about the case of three boys who were spared custodial sentences over the rape of two girls, aged 14 and 15, in Hampshire
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx21…
Hear me out: Remove Judge Nicholas Rowland. Three teenage boys gang r@pe two separate girls, are found guilty and he protects their future and says, “No-one need go to prison today.” EXCUSE ME? WHAT? What about the victims? This IS misogyny - the act of r@pe and the response by this Judge.
Accountability matters particularly at a time of increasing misogyny and male violence to girls and women. ENOUGH of professionals and systems backing up perpetrators 🤬💀
It’s good the sentence is being reviewed - the Judge should be investigated and removed
