As part of the 16 Days of Action Against Gender-Based Violence, we're promoting our ADViSE service, which provides support to survivors of domestic/ sexual violence and abuse.
We're passing the baton to @VivGordonCo. Keep an eye out for their #16Days post.
ALT With Unity you can access support with any experience of domestic/sexual abuse/violence from any point in your life.
ALT Do you feel afraid or unsafe around a partner or family member?
Have you experienced a sexual encounter that you didn’t want or that made you feel uncomfortable?
Whatever your experience, the ADViSE service can offer support and advise and get you in touch with those who can help.
ALT To access the ADViSE service you can speak to a Unity staff member or call Next Link on 0117 925 0680 and ask to speak to an ADViSE worker.
Remember that YOU are in control of these sessions. Our staff are here to support you.

Undetectable = Untransmittable
Those on effective treatment for HIV cannot pass on the virus.
ALT Only 16% of the public are aware of Undetectable=Untransmittable (U=U).
1 in 3 people living with HIV have faced HIV stigma and discrimination.
This is why 6 inspirational individuals have decided to share their message and publicly say NO to HIV-related stigma.
ALT From today Billboards all around Bristol will be showcasing these powerful messages.
