The Lioness Circle

A week ago, The #VoiceoftheChild: #Croydon #DomesticAbuseawareness campaign brought statutory, national & local services together with the community in #ThorntonHeath to explore #domesticabuse through the eyes of the child. Thanks to everyone who attended & supported the campaign

I can turn off WiFi at midnight. But mobile data? No time controls. @tescomobile literally said “we don’t do time.” If child safeguarding matters to these providers, time-based controls on ALL mobile data should be standard📱⚖️

Attending court can be an incredibly anxious time for victims of domestic abuse. This funding is a positive step towards ensuring they feel confident on the process and get vital updates on their case, something survivors tell me they often don't receive. independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…

Operation Stovewood: Man guilty of raping woman and child 20 years ago - it’s great he’s been convicted but why did it take 20 years? He probably raped a lot of other women in that time. nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/operation…

“Peter Mandelson arrested and led away by police.” For decades the male ruling class has survived on handshakes, nods and paper shredders. These men never thought anyone would read their emails. But once you have a digital history it’s hard to escape it. news.sky.com/video/share-13…

Epstein survivors to introduce 'Virginia's Law' to remove time limits for victims to sue their abusers lbc.co.uk/article/epstei…

🚨 Woman experiences ontological shock over the Epstein files "I am confused on why we are still watching the Grammy's and watching the Super Bowl. No one is angry enough, those are babies and children."

A former Met officer will appear in court charged with a series of sexual offences including rape. ANOTHER ONE!!!! news.met.police.uk/news/a-former-…

He has to go 💔😭

For #ValentinesDay2026 we want transparency, investigations and consequences

Germaine Greer once said “women have very little idea of how much men hate them”. The Epstein files coldly show us this. And we should not “move on” we should face it and act on it. “Trump says America should move on from Epstein - it may not be that easy” bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Solidarity to all victims, survivors, advocates and supporters across the world. YOU ARE NOT ALONE 🙌🏾

Women don't want chocolate and flowers for Valentine's Day this year. We just want to see investigations and arrests.

Key questions to be addressed: 1. What structures allowed access? 2. Who ignored early warnings? 3. How was silence enforced? 4. Who benefited materially or socially? 5. What safeguards failed, repeatedly? 6. How do we redesign systems with survivors at the core?

The Lioness Circle stands in solidarity with all victims and survivors of #Epstein & his co-conspirators. We believe you. We honour your truth. We reject systems that protect perpetrators & silence harm. Power must be redistribution with survivors’ voices at the centre.

Different face. Same stroke. No accountability. The cycle continues..

It’s not just a “few bad apples”, it’s powerful systems enabling & benefiting from sexual, violent & other harm done to women & children. The truth is in the cycle: access + power + silence = repeated harm = repeated victim retraumatising = more power + access + more silence.
