We stand in solidarity with all victims and survivors of rape and other forms of sexual violence and abuse. We will not stop fighting until rape culture no longer exists in our society.
Have been dipping into the @SARSAS_uk Sibling Sexual Abuse conference today - incredibly important work being done around an incredibly impactful and largely hidden form of sexual violence. Has been a privilege to work with @DrSophieKH and @_PurpleLeaf_ on this topic.
Sharing lessons at @ssa_rcew from work completed in collaboration with @DrSophieKH from @UoBSocialPolicy on the complexity of sibling sexual abuse, the importance of the familiy context and need for good training for professionals
Today we launch Trigger Warning. An anthology of poems written by 30 women about their experiences with sexual assault and violence. All proceeds donated to @RapeCrisisEandW who do phenomenal work supporting women and survivors. To purchase, visit https://t.co/oX7UqILNNF
This is a clear example of institutional misogyny. Apologies are not enough. We need to see action from the Met Police to drive out sexism and inappropriate behaviour within its ranks.

Indecent exposure isn't just 'a bit of a laugh', perpetrators want to shock, get a reaction, intimidate. We need to tackle all forms of male violence @Channel4News
Over 6000 survivors of child sexual abuse have bravely shared their experiences with the Truth Project, which comes to a close on 31st October. Head Dru Sharpling says "I would encourage anyone who is considering participating to get in touch and find out more". #IICSA#CSA
Meanwhile, we are still waiting for officers who took and shared selfies they’d taken with the dead bodies of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman to be properly held to account.
Don’t believe the ‘bad apple’ defence - institutional and leadership failures are at the heart of this.
I've watched the Home Secretary and Cressida Dick expressing sorrow, they are both women with immense power please ask them what they are going to do about the massive failings other than be sad.
