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 livpost.co.uk/p/the-false-me…

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 aol.co.uk/met-officers-f…

@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

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? theguardian.com/society/2024/s…

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. My statement: victimscommissioner.org.uk/news/victims-c…

This was such a fantastic session, thank you all. It was also gratifying to hear Jill's traumatic experience referred to.

🧵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.
