@officialsammyuk Brilliant news @officialsammyuk 👏 Will those previously denied compensation due to historic charges now have the choice to reapply — if they choose to? That would be another victory.

I’m pleased to see one of my campaigns being taken seriously. For nearly a decade I’ve fought to wipe convictions clean for victims of grooming gangs. Clearing child prostitution offences is progress — but we must go further and pardon all related offences. Thank you to everyone for supporting the campaign so far. #Sammyslaw

My writing has been both painful and necessary. It bears witness to a system still failing women and girls. It’s for the survivors who trusted me — and for those who never lived to see change. “The abuse runs deeper than most realise. More will be revealed soon.” 💛

Sometimes people and institutions downplay the reality of abuse by hiding it under the umbrella term sexual exploitation. This language masks torture, violence, and trauma. The government is one of many guilty of minimising the truth. #SexualExploitation #TruthMatters

"Disturbing to see predatory behaviour dismissed as ‘foolish’ or ‘inappropriate comments.’ Inviting 10 teenage girls into a car is not ‘stupid compliments’—it’s PREDATORY. Defences like this normalise harm and silence survivor's . chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…

Adult Sexual Exploitation 💛“Safety should never depend on thresholds.” 🐝“Exploitation is abuse — and abuse deserves protection.” 💛“Every woman deserves safety, every time.” 🐝“No more paperwork over protection.” 💛“When she reaches for safety, the system must reach back.”

Too often, women and girls experiencing cuckooing/ home takeovers are labelled as "problems" rather than protected as victims. This post challenges the harmful narratives that lead to wrongful evictions and missed safeguarding opportunities.

💛 Sexual Exploitation doesn't stop because you turn 18. 🐝 Sexual Exploitation doesn't always start in childhood.

🔹 COMING SOON — Final edits underway 🔹 On the Other Side of Sexual Violence is a raw and unfiltered poetry collection. It is the voice of a frontline worker. It is the cry of the unheard. It is the truth of what some refuse to see: adult sexual exploitation. ⚠️ Trigger warning

Too many victims of sexual offences are told there will be No Further Action: not because the crime didn’t happen, but because the system says there isn’t “enough evidence.” Did you know you can challenge that decision: The Victims' Right to Review (VRR) @debra_coloured_hearts/photo/7526822144224005398" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@debra_coloure

Letby’s brutality and the inaction of others led to the murder of seven babies and attempted murder of seven others. The Crown Prosecution Service states corporate manslaughter occurs when a company's gross negligence in managing or organising its activities results in death.

We believe this aligns with other essential roles, such as Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVAs) and Independent Domestic Abuse Advisors (IDVAs). We view this course not only as a huge achievement! But a significant movement in our mission to eradicate sexual exploitation
