I support female victims and survivors of sexual violence to heal and rebuild their lives so they can feel powerful, confident and in control.

#BBCYourQuestions why are we concentrating on policing the streets to keep women safe when the majority of women are raped in their own homes by someone they know? #reluctantheroines #healingschool #ViolenceAgainstWomen

These types of debates need to had with perps who aren’t convicted or who are found to have no further action against them, with men in bars, with driving instructors, dentists, teenage boys at school and university, with our uncles, fathers etc. #C4RapeDebate

#C4RapeDebate No real time was given to what real change should include, no time to real impact that sexual violence trauma has on women, no time to the reality of support that we get (a pack of antidepressants, two days off work and a phone number for a waiting list).

All the normal platitudes shipped out “yes it is bad”, “ yes things do need to change”, “I’m really sorry you feel like that/were treated like that”. Due to the nature of trauma a lot of us will be left blaming ourselfs and questioning our self worth. #C4RapeDebate

#c4rape #C4RapeDebate I shared this video the day after via my IG page. It’s not just the police that are broken. The entire system is broken, we don’t want your platitudes, we want actionable change.
