Hospital ISVA Service

Independent support for survivors of sexual abuse and violence who are patients of West or East and North Herts Hospital Trusts.

[Galop @GalopUK]

Today, we’re launching the UK’s first ever LGBT+ Rape and Sexual Abuse Helpline.

Everyone should have somewhere they can turn to for support, without worry or fear.

Call 0800 999 5428 or email [email protected] to get in touch.

An Interesting watch if you have ever wondered what happens when you report a sexual offence to the Police.

Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVAs) are what sustain victims of rape and sexual assault through the courts and beyond. My 2020 Rape Survey found that victims highly valued their support - leading to better justice outcomes overall #BBCPanorama https://t.co/9zFQxRyFe1

[Hospital ISVA Service @Hospitalisvas]

More than 1 in 5 women have experienced rape or sexual assault. We stand by you this International Women's Day and we are here for you.

There is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to surviving post sexual abuse, your ISVA will tailor support to what you need.

CW: this thread discusses Sexual Violence

It’s Sexual Violence Awareness Week, it’s going to be tough for a lot of students - but it’s also going to be tough for me.

So take a moment to read my words,
