JEMS

Giving the silenced a voice, standing up to victim blaming, and supporting all survivors of SA & DA 💜

[JEMS @JEMSsupport]

JEMS is a survivor-led collective that came into being after we were targeted by the families of the men convicted of raping us. Our trauma was compounded, and we felt isolated and alone - until we found each other. We created JEMS to make something positive from our pain 💜

Survivors should not have to face such retraumatisation from the family members of their abusers.

‘Highland GP accused of stalking rape victim wants chance to question her.
Dr Andrew McFarlane today said he would challenge the Crown's application that his alleged victim be classed as vulnerable.’ https://t.co/bdIuEscSn1

JIMS' explanation for why innocent men are jailed for rape (it's a devilish plot to decrease birth rates!) would be laughable, if it weren't for their coordinated attacks against survivors like @ellieokwilson.

“The last thing victims need is to then face harassment post-conviction, and Jims’ treatment of me is highly likely to discourage victims from coming forward for fear of reprisal.” My piece in today’s @thetimes - ‘I was targeted by rape apologists — and they’re mainly women’ ✍🏽 https://t.co/SRH0jTrB0k

@TakedownMRAs Great! We’re glad we’ve captured your attention. We appreciate our supporters, thank you for the interaction and helping spread our message further 💖

[JEMS @JEMSsupport]

JEMS is shocked and disgusted to see the cruelty that Ellie Wilson and others have faced at the hands of JIMS. This piece in today’s Times is a shocking read, and shows how the supporters of convicted rapist’s branded a brave survivor a ‘skank’. https://t.co/ud9HI61njR

@Stop__The__Lies Hi Lori! I hope you’re having a lovely weekend. I’m so happy to read your accurate description of us in the first paragraph. We absolutely do believe in fair trials, we are aware false accusations exist, we are here for survivors. You take care now💖

[JEMS @JEMSsupport]

@Stop__The__Lies JEMS does not deny false accusations occur, however we strongly object to the abuse that has been directed at our members who have been proven to be victims of sexual abuse. JEMS is a support group for survivors so please refrain from tagging us in your content. Thank you.

[David Challen @David_Challen]

Pleased to see @womensaid is partnering with @Airbnb and City Hall to provide free short-term stays for up to 60 domestic abuse survivors and their children in London. Survivors will also receive legal, advocacy and practical support through the scheme.

@TakedownMRAs JEMS follows a range of accounts that explore women’s issues. If there are any other accounts you think we should follow then please let us know - we like to hear from a range of voices.

@SouthsideTilly @VTocher87613 @ScotParl Indeed.

[JEMS @JEMSsupport]

JEMS have become aware that JIMS, the advocacy group for convicted rapists who’ve been responsible for harassing our members, have started a campaign of vexatious complaints against anyone who criticises them. Yesterday, they lodged a complaint against @PamGosalMSP

[JEMS @JEMSsupport]

@UrGirl_xo @PamGosalMSP Yes they did - they also spoke of falsely accusing Angela Constance’s husband.

[JEMS @JEMSsupport]

@discoverpolitic @VTocher87613 @ScotParl Thanks for pointing this out. Obviously what the group’s stated aims are are different to what they actually do. Their harassment of victims is abhorrent, and their support for men who’ve convicted heinous crimes is terrifying.

[JEMS @JEMSsupport]

@AccusedScots @lizyeld Hi, JEMS will never condone the harassment our members have been subjected to by the individual you mention. JEMS are aware of your advocacy from convicted sex offenders and so we will be blocking you to ensure this remains a safe space for survivors. Thank you.

[JEMS @JEMSsupport]

This individual’s cruel comments about survivors are not just unkind, but also dangerous. Survivors need to be safe to come forward and report crime without fear of scrutiny or harassment. It’s deeply concerning Abertay allowed her and JIMS a platform.

[The Courier @thecourieruk]

Marsha Sturgeon, from Dunfermline, apologised and deleted the comments after being questioned by The Courier. https://t.co/gWWTt2I7HL

@LynneBever6665 @lizyeld Hi Lynne. JEMS is allowed to call out the appalling behaviour our members have been subjected to by supporters of convicted sex offenders. Your son was convicted of raping 3 women, and yet you blame his victims. JEMS will be blocking you to ensure the safety of our members.

[JEMS @JEMSsupport]

@Regular__John1 Hi John. Scrutiny by strangers online post-conviction is never acceptable. JEMS is aware of your support for convicted sex offenders and for these reasons we will be blocking you to ensure this platform is a safe space for survivors. Thank you.
