I’m so heartbroken. This is the product of white supremacy and anti-Asian racism, misogyny and rape culture, anti-sex worker stigma and whorephobia. We have to be fighting these every day, in the structures in which these are entrenched and in our everyday lives.
@Phoebe_Basis Only just saw this Phoebe. Very kind of u - a huge thank you to YOU for your incredible work too!!! Glad to have been a part of it (and glad it's done now!) 💛💛💛
Our #ImprovingResponses21 conference was a great success today as part of #CSEDay21! Remember, we will keep posting messaging around the campaign leading up to March 18th which is National Child Exploitation Awareness Day. #CEAHasntGoneAway
“Victimhood is arguably incompatible with masculinity. Gendered expectations of how men and boys should behave adds an additional complexity for them when they experience sexual abuse.” @StaceyA_Maher discussing masculinity and abuse.
#CEAHasntGoneAway#ImprovingResponses21
"Professionals rally around in a crisis but often don't consider what we might be leaving them to cope with once the abuse has ended and we're no longer supporting" @bekah_vickers highlighting the need to provide post abuse support.

The language we use can have a huge impact on whether young people experiencing #CSE & #CSA can get the help they need. We must #EndVictimBlaming & ensure every young person can access support. For more support visit: https://t.co/usjktJ5iNV
#CEAHasntGoneAway
Perpetrators do not discriminate – so nor should we. Young people of all genders, races & sexualities are at risk of abuse. Expecting victims to fit a ‘type’ means we overlook some young people in our services. This must change. #CEAHasntGoneAway#ImprovingResponses21#CEADay21
Today is International Sex Workers’ Rights Day. Today as everyday we work in solidarity with sex workers’ efforts to access equal rights & labour laws, incl. Covid income support, in a world where criminalisation & stigma too often exclude them from doing so. #sexworkersrightsday
Despite huge crossover between #CSA & #CSE, services often focus on CSE leaving other forms of CSA in shadow. We are re-launching our service to illuminate this shadow & include both CSA & CSE. To find out more join us at conference: https://t.co/hYlB1RRlUo #ImprovingResponses21
Today is the start of our #CEAHasntGoneAway campaign leading up to #CEADay21 & our #ImprovingResponses21 conference. For the next 18 days, we will be sharing messages around #CSE/A & how we can all improve responses for survivors. To get involved visit: https://t.co/QqM1wfOVqU
Look forward to presenting an overview of where the roadblocks are for today's CCE CL victs & what stops them being recognised.
CCE most common child MS category yet how many reach the crucial stage of survivor?
Sign up to a brilliant event with a great speaker line-up.
