It’s hard for a sexual violence/abuse survivor to engage meaningfully in counselling if she’s worrying about feeding her children. The two-child tax credit limit is punitive and discriminatory. This is why we’re part of the #AllKidsCount campaign https://t.co/Ac3Siv6xOC https://t.co/s971fVx8wR

"Getting compensation for child sexual abuse isn’t about the money. It’s about feeling vindicated and being able to finally close the book on everything."

The Criminal Justice System is failing victims & survivors of rape, sexual abuse, all sexual violence. Those impacted by these crimes deserve better. Rape Crisis is pleased to be working with the Centre for Women's Justice and @EVAWuk to challenge #CPS on its failure to prosecute: https://t.co/UFx6vzWfQJ https://t.co/gjolA3tvsZ #justice

Rape & SV suspects should be treated the same as suspects in other crimes. Giving exceptional treatment reinforces damaging myth that rape suspects more likely to have been falsely accused than others; they are not (link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bb2jmn/breakfast-19072018) bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… (1h40 - avail 1dy) @bbcbreakfast
