I finally did it!
Thanks to the fab team at @MyBodyBackProj I got my overdue smear test done. They totally “got” #dissociation & worked with me to manage triggers, something that cant be done in a 15min GP slot. There needs to be more #TraumaInformed services like this! @JoTrust

I wrote a sentence yesterday that life changing and life saving can be read as cliches or overclamimng by VAWG services, but it is what women who are supported by them say. Here is another one.

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPay Day, when Black women’s pay catches up to what white, non-Hispanic men were paid in 2018. That means Black women must work 𝟐𝟎 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 to be paid what white men are paid in 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟐. It’s way past time to fix this gap.

‘Danielle... was made to sit one of her final exams this year with one of the men from the chat group. Despite her efforts to arrange to take her exams alone, the man entered the room and sat next to her.... the invigilator left the room several times.’ theguardian.com/education/20…

Universities need to show a duty of care to students - especially if they have received harassment.
Leaving a student next to the accused in a confined space is frankly unacceptable.
