Your solidarity makes a difference to survivors, more than you know. And remember, if you give before 15 October, every penny you donate will be doubled – meaning your impact will go twice as far. Take your solidarity further: ow.ly/vHIZ50X8q9w #WGMF

Survivors are being asked to recount unrelated reports of previous abuse in front of a jury, which can then be wrongly used to undermine their case – with devastating effects. We're campaigning to change this. Join us. Write to your MP now. rapecrisis.org.uk/get-involv…

The outcome is a research agenda for the future to fill many knowledge gaps. A research and practice network to take this forward will be developed

@SukwantDhaliwal thinks this is the largest gathering of minoritised researchers and practitioners to speak about CSA, a foundation to move forward - join the network to grow the pressure for change

The responses from the floor are passionate and remind me of a concept I heard a few weeks ago in South Africa 'a negligence of policy'. It was intended to alert us that some absences are deliberate and chosen- the neglect can be intentional
