We stand in solidarity with this work and with the urgent commitment to challenge antisemitism across our sector.

Everyone deserves to live free from hate, discrimination, and harm, and we are committed to creating inclusive, safe, and respectful spaces for all.

Proud that 80 leading organisations and leaders across the VAWG sector have signed an open letter led by Jewish Women’s Aid, standing in solidarity with the Jewish community and condemning rising antisemitism.

A huge thank you to BBC Spotlight for inviting First Light to share our concerns about self-test rape kits, and why the responsibility to collect evidence should never be placed on someone who has experienced sexual assault.
