Where there’s a will, there’s a way:
@fotoole rightly calls on Government to introduce emergency legislation — ie before recess — to safeguard institutional abuse records.
Northern Ireland Assembly passed such legislation in 2022, and it’s working.

Learning Week with @NOTAevents is live!
We're discussing the unheard voices of 15 South Asian victims/survivors of child sexual abuse.
@vanishajassal is doing justice to the subject matter by giving us insights.

In the main auditorium, waiting for the #TraumaSummit welcome address from my pals Clive Corry, @actiontrauma Founder & Karen Hamilton, Director. It's going to be such an interesting, thought-provoking two days on #trauma #healing, #prevention, #relationships & #cycle breaking.

This is an important event that takes place each year. Please consider going. It’s a crucial reminder of those missing children that are part of the 9,000 that died at the hands of the Catholic Church and the Irish State. #MotherAndBabyHomes #Justice

There is still time to make a last-minute booking for our webinar today. The topic is hard, but hearing the insights of @KTheidon , #DyanMazurana and @dipali17 will be an unmissable opportunity. #InternationalWomensDay2024

92 letters sent to MPs in constituencies where women murdered by men and 6 replied. For shame.

Excellent to see rape survivors in Scotland given access to free court transcripts, to help them understand what happened in their cases. Now, let's see our Government follow suit to extend this right to the rest of the UK 👀 #VictimsBill

After 5 wonderful years, @shme_bbk approaches its grand finale. So lucky to celebrate resistance, hope and creativity with the amazing @TheFlyingChild for our final event. Can't wait to talk about what each and every one of us can to do to end sexual violence against children.

A few of my illustrations are in The Flying Child - A Cautionary Fairy Tale for Adults. This one has the caption “the little princess was beginning to think grown-ups were quite stupid”.
I remember as a child feeling like a curious onlooker in ‘The World’ full of adults that didn’t seem to see what was right in front of them. Does any other CSA survivor remember feeling like that?
It’s a confusing place to grow up.
