💪🏻Starting the year strong by delivering our first speech of 2025 to @ThamesVP at the 'Better Together for Children 2025' conference yesterday.

We had an inspiring day and were encouraged to see professionals acknowledging past mistakes. A huge thank you to TVP for hosting!

We stand strongly against Iraq’s proposed amendment. No child has more right than another to be free from abuse. (3/3)

🚨REIGN Reacts🚨

Nobody aged 9 can consent to sex.

Iraq is set to vote on an amendment that would reduce the legal age of consent from 18 to 9. If the law is passed, it will mean Iraq has the lowest age of consent globally. (1/3)

We are extremely concerned by this proposal. Children cannot consent to sex, and if this law is passed, millions of children will be placed at a direct risk of abuse. CSA/E is a global issue, yet there are no international safeguards in place to protect children from harm. (2/3)

🚨 REIGN Reacts 🚨

We are back again taking about the recent case involving Huw Edwards, former news broadcaster for the BBC, and his involvement in the ‘making’ of CSA images.

As a collective we wanted to give an insight from a victims perspective on the details of this case

[The REIGN Collective @REIGNManchester]

Image based abuse is a serious crime. It’s time society sees the true impact on victims and perpetrators are sentenced appropriately.

[The REIGN Collective @REIGNManchester]

From barriers to addressing CSA/E to the power of peer support, September is shaping up to be another busy month at REIGN HQ!

@Sarahhdbristol Completely agree Sarah, it's a total failure of the justice system!

REIGN REACTS: Looking at trending topics from the survivors perspective.

This week GB News discussed the topic of Dutch child rapist, Steven van de Velde, representing his country at the 2024 Olympics...

[The REIGN Collective @REIGNManchester]

It is down to us as a society to change how we see and talk about this crime, so that CSA survivors and those still facing sexual abuse can feel empowered to seek support from those they trust.

[The REIGN Collective @REIGNManchester]

Child sexual abuse is an ever growing crime and the stigma associated with this topic frequently discourages victims from coming forward to share their own experiences.

[The REIGN Collective @REIGNManchester]

An adult to a different country with the purpose of engaging in sexual activity with a child does not constitute a ‘holiday romance’.

[The REIGN Collective @REIGNManchester]

5. Reluctancy to use the appropriate terminology, i.e child rapist, only further perpetuates the idea that the crime isn’t serious and places shame on the victim for their response.
