🚨Silence does not mean it didn’t happen.🚨

Often, it means a child was carrying fear, shame, trauma, confusion, or the belief that nobody would listen.

For many survivors, speaking about abuse can take years — sometimes decades. Some may never feel safe enough to speak at all.

⚠That is why breaking stigma matters.
⚠That is why survivor voices matter.
⚠That is why creating safe, trauma-informed spaces matters.

❌No child should suffer in silence.
❌No survivor should carry shame that was never theirs to hold. 🤍

We’re launching at the end of the month ✊

Survivor Leaders is a survivor-led movement raising awareness, amplifying women’s voices, challenging harmful narratives, and pushing for meaningful change across West Yorkshire and beyond.

Please invite your friends, follow our journey, and help us spread the message far and wide. Awareness creates change — and change starts with conversation.

“1 in 4 women experience sexual violence.”

Whether people realise it or not, most know someone affected by s3xual vi0lence, ab*se, or exploitation.

This is why survivor voices matter.
This is why awareness matters.
This is why we speak up. 🤍

Being at home doesn't guarantee protection from sexual violence and abuse, unfortunately.

Telling women not to walk home by themselves late at night won't magically erase all possibility of sexual assault.

In fact, it's not uncommon for women to have been r**ed while taking a taxi home. Or to be subjected to r**e in their own home, and often by someone they know.

It's high time society focused on those who perpetrate these acts of violence, hold them accountable for their actions, and deliver swift criminal justice for those who survived them, and those who did not.

R**e culture is the culprit, and we demand an end to it.

Are you with us? 💜

Self‑care doesn’t have to be big or perfect. Sometimes it’s just pausing, breathing, and being kind to yourself where you are 🤍
