Supporting survivors means creating a world where people are believed, listened to and never left to navigate the impacts of sexual violence alone.

Sexual violence is far more prevalent than many of us realise. Survivors are our friends, family, colleagues, classmates and neighbours, and they deserve support, dignity and justice.

When we listen without judgement, challenge harmful attitudes, speak up against injustice and invest in specialist survivor services, we help create a safer and more supportive society for everyone.

Supporting survivors is everyone’s responsibility. 💜

Creating communities where survivors feel seen, believed and supported starts with the little things. 💜

Kindness, compassion and connection can have a lasting impact. Whether it's checking in on a friend, believing someone's story, respecting their boundaries, or simply reminding them they're not alone, these small moments help create a culture where survivors can feel safer.

Our are a collection of words from survivors, supporters, and our community, offering hope, encouragement, and solidarity to anyone who needs them.

If you've visited one of our offices or met us at an event, you may have seen our messages on display. They're a reminder that healing doesn't happen in isolation, and that we all have a part to play in creating communities rooted in care.

Take a moment to read them, take what you need, and if you'd like, comment below a message of your own for someone who might need it.

Katie Price's new docuseries left us thinking about the impossible standards society places on women, especially survivors. Too often, we expect survivors to behave in ways that make everyone else comfortable: resilient, inspirational, grateful, morally flawless.

But healing has never looked like perfection.

In our latest blog, we explore the Madonna-whore complex, the long-lasting impact of childhood sexual abuse, and why perhaps the most radical thing about Katie Price is that she refuses to fit into the boxes society has built for her.

💜 Read the full blog via the link in our bio.

A heatwave is hard enough without having to worry about unwanted attention. ☀️

Everyone has the right to feel comfortable and safe in their body...whatever they choose to wear.

Clothing is never consent. A person’s outfit is never an invitation for harassment, comments, or unwanted behaviour.

When sports and media platforms continue to celebrate and elevate those accused of abuse, survivors can be left feeling unseen and let down.

Small moments of solidarity matter because they send a powerful message: survivors are not alone, and protecting reputations should never come before protecting people.

Holding people accountable. Challenging harmful cultures. Showing visible support for survivors.

Real allyship means creating a culture where survivors are believed, abuse is taken seriously, and accountability is expected.
