Recognition of the longer term health and psychological consequences are recognised and supported

[Bernie Ryan @BernieRyan_2]

Speaking @LBC about how we can better protect victims/ survivors of #Strangulation. “For frontline professionals to respond appropriately, recognise dangerous situations including the health risk that victims face and that their immediate health and safety needs are addressed.

[Bernie Ryan @BernieRyan_2]

The @InstituteIFAS have worked with survivors to produce a powerful short video exploring the journey that victim/survivors of strangulation go on to reclaim their voice.
Please share so as many survivors see this as possible.

Great to see Jersey ministers planning to introduce legislation by December 2025 to make non-fatal strangulation an offense, acknowledging its severity and increased risk of escalation to murder.

Do you work in Higher Education? Do you want to improve sex education and support for students?

Strangulation has become a common sexual expectation and experience, particularly amongst younger people.

In a recent study conducted with undergraduate students in Australia, researchers found that 56% respondents reported ever being strangled during sex (17% during their last sexual experience). https://t.co/cBrlgTIQrP
Join us in Manchester for our upcoming conference on 12th November – Tackling Strangulation: Working Together to Save Lives – to hear from one of the study’s researchers, Professor Heather Douglas.
