CEO of @CWACharity. Hate injustice & bullying. Believe in accountability & integrity. Love cats. My views only

@RealDylanFarrow It should be unbelievable but sadly isn't that so many adults even now will tell this young woman that they don't believe her. She has told the same story consistently for years yet even now she is challenged. This is why victims don't come forward and is why they get no justice

[Saskia Ritchie @saskiaCWA]

Thank you for highlighting our situation. Domestic abuse increases during crisis. Positives: we're responsive and agile at this rapidly changing time. Negatives: we urgently need tech support in the form of laptops and smartphones to support vulnerable families

The #COVID19 crisis is affecting small charities when they are most needed. This is due to significant reductions in fundraising and trading.

Here is a summary of how @CWAcharity is responding.

@JohnDavisJDLLM Typical Sun to use rape to titivate readers instead of genuine reporting. Minors cannot consent to sex with an adult. It's not complicated. It's rape.

[Saskia Ritchie @saskiaCWA]

@ManKindInit @DrLizBates 5. We support Mankind and other partners with the call to action on perpetrators and with calls for specialist services for men. In the meantime we will continue to strive to meet the needs of the many people referred to us each week and to reach out to male and LGBT victims

[Saskia Ritchie @saskiaCWA]

@ManKindInit @DrLizBates 4. As a feminist organisation we believe that a balanced approach to meeting the needs of each family member allows us to tackle what can become very complex family dynamics. Ignoring the wider issues wouldn't help with that

[Saskia Ritchie @saskiaCWA]

@ManKindInit @DrLizBates 3. This is why @CWAcharity has accommodation, recovery groups and behaviour change programmes for men and women, alongside specialist services for couples who want to stay together and for children

[Saskia Ritchie @saskiaCWA]

@ManKindInit @DrLizBates 2. Failing to analyse and raise awareness of all elements relating to domestic abuse, including issues of parental alienation affecting both men and women, risks perpetuating polarised harmful beliefs in my opinion

[Saskia Ritchie @saskiaCWA]

@ManKindInit @DrLizBates 1. Acknowledging that domestic abuse is a systemic and historic issue based on gender should not detract from raising awareness of male victims and female perpetrators.

If children had electronic gifts this Christmas help to keep them safe on line by keeping up to date and knowing what to look out for. #internetsafety #keepingsafe #MobileApp #AutismAwareness

WTAF??? I love this ❤❤❤

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

“Since the Tories have been in power we have seen so many cuts to women’s services. I don’t trust that they’re going to help.”
Every rape survivor deserves the chance to recover.
Labour will ensure sexual assault survivors are treated with care, compassion, dignity and respect.

[Saskia Ritchie @saskiaCWA]

Actually a rapid reflective response from senior leadership at school. Police progressing the incident, training needs identified along with a clear plan to satisfaction of safeguarding and LADO and formal apology to child and parents. Fairly impressive accountability

[Gilly Kenealy @celticgilly]

@saskiaCWA @arniesma What's happening on this, Saskia? I expect things will move slowly, but just wondered if there was any news.

[MyCWA (Cheshire Without Abuse) @mycwacharity]

Wanted - Shop Mannequins. If you know of anyone who would be able to donate mannequins for our new charity shop in Macclesfield please call 01270 250390. Many thanks.

[DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ASSIST @_DVASSIST]

'because' the woman had 'taken no physical steps' to stop the man from raping her, that 'this did not constitute rape'. I hope this brave survivor wins her appeal #domesticabuse https://t.co/OUNL9ROl0J via @MailOnline #rape

[Saskia Ritchie @saskiaCWA]

This is incredibly unhealthy and traumatic. Based on Victorian principles and in no way supports transition.
