Horizon SVS

Support and advocacy for anyone in Gwent who has experienced sexual violence or abuse at any time in their life.

[Horizon SVS @HorizonSvs]

Welcome to Horizon sexual violence services on Twitter! Horizon is a @CyfannolWAid project and
we're excited to launch this feed alongside @HorizonSvs on FB to mark Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week @itsnotok2019 in advance of the Horizon website unveiling #ItsNotOk

Our @HorizonSVS Support Services are empowering women to take control of their sexual health.

Our outreach team have provided over 2,500 condoms in the past year and partnered with other organisations to offer sexual health check-ups for women we support.

If you feel scared, distressed or threatened as a result of repeated behaviour - such as: following, contacting, publishing material about you, monitoring, loitering, interfering with property, watching or spying - this is stalking. #NSAW23

Lisa Burkl, our Art Tutor for our @HorizonSvs art therapy sessions, has shared her thoughts on the importance of art in celebration of #worldartday.

We’re piloting enhanced specialist sexual violence support at 3 Crown Court centres to provide improved support for rape victims.

Learnings will complement our efforts to tackle the backlog and increase the volume and speed of cases through the system.

Today is National Child Sexual Exploitation Awareness Day. #CSE can take many forms. If you've been affected, support is available regardless of when the abuse took place. Together, we can work to inform, educate and prevent child abuse within the UK. https://t.co/wq0hAHyh2U
