@S_Catsgotmyback @AllForBirds Can I just add that sometimes they aren't dead at this point. They are supposed to have been electrocuted to death but often this is done too quickly and the poor animals are just stunned or the torture they experience is prolonged. The whole industry is awful and cruel.

A step in the right direction!
'Previous laws did not protect those coerced into having sex and deterred reporting of such attacks, critics say.'

The IICSA, in making the recommendation, said applicants to the scheme should have experienced abuse "where there is a clear connection to state or non-state organisations so what about those who were abused in the home but ignored by social services etc?

How do you compensate a lost childhood? What about the impact on education? Or the loss of opportunity or the money spent trying to survive? I spent yrs imagining my ‘real’ life - the life I might have had - had I not been the victim of #CSA.

How do you quantify the loss?

[Ellie C @Ellie_Research]

I really enjoyed presenting my research and holding a workshop at #NOTA22. Was wonderful to meet so many people working in the area of CSA. It has been a great few days of sharing information and networking! #CSA #CSAprevention #phdlife

If you know a child between 5 and 12 then knowing about Eleanor Craig’s research on Safeguarding through books is a no brainer. Brilliantly interactive workshop #NOTA22

I don’t care that people say I’m ‘biased’ or ‘subjective’ - we all are. Every book you ever read is biased & subjective. Humans are incapable of objectivity.

I didn’t want my work to be ‘objective’ - I want it to make change and argue for revolution.

Activism isn’t objective.

@flying_project This sounds amazing!! Please let me know if you need any help with the research side of it. x

[Ellie C @Ellie_Research]

@deshveen @BuddCharlotte It is never as simple as that. Kids are not a separate issue from needs of parents. Abusers will often start abusing the child too. It is not safe for the other parent or child to be around someone who is abusive. The child and their safety must be a priority, always!

[Charlotte Budd @BuddCharlotte]

Having to parent with someone who has abused you is abuse itself #BreakTheBias #InternationalWomensDay2022

[Suzanne Zeedyk @suzannezeedyk]

Do you know that at private educ institutions, teachers are STILL not legally required to report known child abuse? That's t point of t campaign @mandatenow. Tons of t public do not know this. All childrn deserve to be protected - including childrn from rich families.

[Ellie C @Ellie_Research]

When I worked with the police as an analyst, I saw a lot of officers skirt the law and get away with it. One DI was emotionally abusive to me and, despite our reports, got away with it. I'm glad to see criminal justice has been done here, I just hope internal change follows too.

@ejthementor Really great, informative video. The thing that has shocked me most researching this area has been adults/parents who get angry at children who disclose abuse to them, with some survivors being told they are lying. Such responses have a further harmful impact on the child.

[Ellie C @Ellie_Research]

@flying_project Great news! Congratulations!! xx

[Ellie C @Ellie_Research]

I struggle to 'wave down a bus' when I am 5 meters away and running to catch it. How is this a serious suggestion rather than responding to the actual issue of male violence against women.

[Dirty shades of blue @shades_dirty]

@TPAReid Stop NDAs. Stop protecting sexual predators. You are sending a message of solidarity &protection to sexual predators by refusing to protect women.This is escalating violence women are facing. You have a duty to protect women too. #TarnishedBadge #MeToo
