When the person responsible doesn’t fit the image people have in their head, it can be harder for survivors to name what happened, and harder to be believed when they do. At Safeline, we work with survivors of all forms of sexual abuse. Everyone should be taken seriously.

Holy moly, guacamole! These two absolutely smashed the TCS London Marathon on Sunday! On top of that, the combined amount they have raised means that 10 children aged 3 - 18 will be able to receive counselling, creative therapy and advocacy support after experiencing sexual abuse.

Male survivors should be treated with empathy, respect, & understanding in both real life & in the media. It is 1 in 5 men, not 1 in 18 who experience SA. Our National Male Survivor Helpline is here for every one of them: 0808 800 5005
