@Survivors_Speak Fantastic news!

2/ This is the goal we have been working towards. It's taken a lot of effort to build that consensus but it represents a huge step forward, and while we know that reform wont happen in a hurry we can at least finally feel confident that it's getting closer.

[SpeakOutSurvivors @Survivors_Speak]

Many thanks to @HumzaYousaf for his time today and it was a really good meeting. We are to absolutely delighted to have confirmation that there is now a clear cross party commitment to look at reform of corroboration in the new parliament.

[SpeakOutSurvivors @Survivors_Speak]

On #IWD2021
we're meeting with @HumzaYousaf once again to discuss the ancient law of corroboration, which prevents 90% of sexual offences from ever being prosecuted in Scotland. We have to #ChooseToChallenge this outdated law so that more women might access justice in the future.

[SpeakOutSurvivors @Survivors_Speak]

#ItsNotOk2021 The ancient Scots law of corroboration means that men in Scotland get special protection from prosecution when women report a rape. In every other country in the world you just need good evidence. Ancient laws to protect men have no place in criminal justice today.

#ItsNotOk

[SpeakOutSurvivors @Survivors_Speak]

Just a reminder of what passes for "justice" in Scotland:

In 2019/20 there were a reported 13,364 sexual offences

2,343 of these were reported rapes or attempted rapes

Only 324 reached prosecution and just 152 were convicted

This is why Scottish justice urgently needs reform.

[SpeakOutSurvivors @Survivors_Speak]

#ItsNotOk that Scotland's criminal justice system fails to prosecute almost 90% of reported rapes ⚖

This week is Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week. We stand in solidarity with all survivors, and we ask you to use the #ItsNotOk hashtag to make all our voices heard ✊

@brennajessie_ I've learned that bullies use a subject against a person as a defense mechanism to deflect from something they are struggling with themselves. Don't take that personally. They are the ones that need help to find the reason they are a horrible to someone else. Not you!

Very proud to have been a part of this important project 👏

Also that is one of my favourite photos....survivors don't have to be tragic, you know! In my experience we are a pretty badass bunch, as proven by all who contributed to https://t.co/Uqk1yjLDdW ❤
