“As a victim advocate and trauma support specialist, believing survivors is the easiest part of the job. It’s also not my role to decide if someone is telling the truth. It’s not my job to gatekeep resources and personally decide who is *worthy* of support.
Everyone is deserving. Start by believing.”

“The World Cup is supposed to celebrate the world’s best football, but instead, this year’s tournament has also highlighted something much bigger: how inconsistently institutions respond when elite athletes face allegations of violence against women.
Some players continue to compete with no issue, while one was denied entry into Canada. Others remain under investigation or are awaiting trial while representing their countries. There is already legal precedent in many countries for restricting international travel when people face serious violent charges, making the inconsistent treatment of elite athletes all the more difficult to justify. Survivors deserve something too: institutions that treat allegations of gender-based violence with the seriousness they deserve.”

“When someone tells you they’ve been s*xually a*saulted, they’re not asking you to be a detective. They’re asking you to be a sate person.
Research shows that the support a survivor receives in the first 72 hours and the following 90 days matters. Feeling believed, cared for, and supported can reduce the likelihood of long-term PTSD.”

“Massachusetts lawmakers have passed a measure that finally recognizes what survivors have been saying for years: a 16-year-old child cannot meaningfully consent to an adult who holds power over their education, safety, opportunities, and future.
For too long, this loophole allowed adults in positions of authority to call exploitation
“consent.” But when a teacher, coach, or school employee has influence over a student’s grades, recommendations, discipline, team, social life, an sense of safety, that is not consent. That is a power imbalance.
This change matters because it tells students that the law should protect them, not the adults who exploit their trust.
Massachusetts was one of eleven states without this protection. Now there are ten.”
