Supporting disabled survivors. Working for change. Run by disabled people for disabled survivors in London of hate crime, domestic, sexual & other abuse.
Thank you to @Channel4 for making an important programme. #StaySafeEast remains one of only five specialist 'by and for' services for Deaf or disabled survivors of domestic abuse and the only organisation working with disabled survivors of all forms of abuse. A long way to go...
Watching #Dispatches “Trapped, Disabled & Abused” I’m feeling extremely anxious and proud, but more than anything I’m grateful to the team at @Channel4 and @CandourTV who gave this important subject the attention it needs. @louisa_compton
Thank you for watching.
#staysafeeast is back! Our apologies for radio silence due to shortage of staff. Still supporting disabled survivors, and still advocating for safety, justice and equal access to support for disabled survivors everywhere!

We will continue to work with our sister organisations to support disabled asylum seekers and refugees and to prevent the abuse of their rights. The fight is far from over. 🧵 3/3
