There are so many shocking stats in the final Soteria victim survey. When nine out of ten people who reported rape to the police say they wouldn’t do so again, you have a massive problem 🧵#VAWG https://t.co/YQqA86qnXX

Well said @polblonde and this is what should now be happening under Soteria, whether that is actually happening on the ground is another matter.

‘Lots and lots of women are urging her on’

Gisèle Pelicot’s ordeal has made her something of a feminist icon in France.

@itsanitarani spoke to author Joan Smith @polblonde, who's campaigned about violence against women & girls, for her thoughts on the impact of the case ⬇️

There's a long history of doubting survivors' memories if they recall sexual abuse later in life. But did you know it's been perpetuated by a charity largely made up of men accused of sexual assault? It's a crazy story of Catholics, conferences & comics https://t.co/gGkXRQauh0

❗ Victims of rape and serious sexual offences can now apply for free transcripts of a judge's sentencing remarks: these are made by the judge after the verdict and include their decision on sentencing and reasons for imposing the sentence.

Today’s @thetimes column: once it was a shock when a well-known person was accused of a single rape. Now it’s dozens and dozens and dozens

Wealthy men power the industrial rape machine

More officers attracting the criticism of the public.
It would appear that some areas of the Met are just feral, law and order evades them
What's needed?
Public scrutiny
Improved vetting & training
Change to PC employment laws
Ability to fine officers

@LexyTopping @alessiatranches @YvonneARoberts @melissasigodo How we talk about perpetrators matters too: they are everyday men.

We can’t only talk about so-called 'monsters' because that makes women who have been raped by their best friend, or their football coach, feel like they don’t fit into this framework, says @LexyTopping

[Stephen Evans @Stephenmevans1]

There have been 14,355 hospital and GP attendances related to female genital mutilation in England in the past year. A rise of 15%.

It's been a criminal offence since 1985. How many prosecutions?

Deeply troubling that offenders have been released early in error — this must be very distressing for victims.

I'll continue taking a close interest in this scheme, highlighting the needs of victims — their safety must not be compromised.

🧵As #Lab24 conference draws to a close, it was great be able talk about the importance of a whole-society, intersectional approach to ending violence against women that focuses on prevention.

[EVAW Coalition @EVAWuk]

🚨 CAMPAIGN WIN! 🚨

Government to introduce independent legal advocates to rape victims. We have long campaigned for this with @centrewj @rapecrisiseandw @rightsofwomen

This is a hugely positive step towards ensuring rape survivors access their rights to justice and support
