Whether you were an adult and/or a child when it happened, sexual violence can have a big impact on your health, life, and relationships. Some of these can last a long time. Whether some of these things happen to you or not, your experience is real, valid, and yours.

No form of sexual violence and abuse can be justified. There is no excuse for any of it. No reason that makes it okay - it isn't. And the survivors deserve a criminal justice system that is fit for purpose - it isn't.

Gloria – “Glo” – Steinem was an icon. She shattered the silence which existed around sexual violence, redefined rape as an act of violence, power and control, and propelled grassroots women's activism into mainstream public consciousness. From one movement to another, Gloria: thank you 💜

Consent happens when all people involved in any kind of sexual activity agree to take part by choice. Without consent, any kind of sexual activity is sexual violence.

What do you know about grooming? This is when an abuser builds a false relationship or connection with a child or young person in order to gain power or control over them. Please share this post to help raise awareness 💜

Rape Crisis England & Wales @rapecrisis.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

It's really important to remember that there can never be consent when someone is forced, threatened, pressured, manipulated or tricked into taking part in sexual activity. And children and young people are NEVER to blame for the sexual exploitation that happened to them,
