Survivors Collective

Survivors of childhood sexual abuse coming together for support, activism & creative projects. Feel welcome to join :)

[Survivors Collective @ST_network]

Today, on the last day of sexual abuse & sexual violence awareness week, we are launching our "You don't see" campaign, to show the hidden impacts of childhood sexual abuse that people don't see when they see us. We hope survivors will feel less alone.

"By not adequately funding support services this Government is telling survivors that their recovery does not matter...I urge people to sign my petition and demand...sustained funding for rape crisis support services" #NoSurvivorTurnedAway #IWD2019 https://t.co/LH8Ex8WpeU

Our demands for RSE:
7. RSE must be a whole school approach on abuse, including understanding the prevalence and the impact of childhood sexual abuse. #ItsNotOK #itsnotok2019 #RSE #survivorscollective

[Survivors Collective @ST_network]

Our demands for RSE:
6. RSE must make clear the relationship between power and abuse. Responsibility only ever lies with the perpetrator, never with the victim. #ItsNotOK #itsnotok2019 #RSE #survivorscollective

[Survivors Collective @ST_network]

Our demands for RSE:
5. RSE means every school agreeing a Consent Charter setting out how staff and adults in school respect the boundaries and rights of children and young people. #ItsNotOK #itsnotok2019 #RSE #survivorscollective

[Survivors Collective @ST_network]

Our demands for RSE:
4. RSE must provide a strong support system for victim-survivors, starting with trusted, safe contacts who are clearly available to pupils and students. #ItsNotOK #itsnotok2019 #RSE #survivorscollective

[Survivors Collective @ST_network]

Our demands for RSE:
3. RSE must talk about childhood sexual abuse, boundaries and consent - and make clear that perpetrators are often people we know and trust. We must not avoid this. Children deserve this conversation. #ItsNotOK #itsnotok2019 #RSE #survivorscollective

[Survivors Collective @ST_network]

Our demands for RSE:
2. RSE must start as early as possible. Every child needs to learn the language to express their experiences through age appropriate teaching materials. #ItsNotOK #itsnotok2019 #RSE #survivorscollective

Our demands for RSE:
1. RSE must be mandatory for every child. Parents and carers have no right to opt their kids out. Only children themselves can do this. #ItsNotOK #itsnotok2019 #RSE #survivorscollective
