With lockdownsπ, we know how tough it is to feel trapped & unsafe. We're here to share tools, tips & comforting words to make the next few months easier. Chayn's run by volunteers. Many of us are survivors. Join our π²daily support group here: t.me/joinchat/AAAAA #covid19
Big news! Our "bloom" project is now live. On the heels of our successful pilot during #Covid19 lockdown, we're offering 5 courses on mental wellbeing and trauma resilience for abuse survivors. All online & confidential using our innovative methodology.
It is and will be hard. Many in the VAWG sector are stepping up though including us. Despite running on volunteer fumes - we have set up an online trauma therapy group and continue expanding our online resources. The frontline staff of shelters need to be celebrated too!
Women's bodies are not the battleground for business competition or ads. This was spotted by a volunteer of ours in London today!
Please stop using such pictures for your news stories !
1- It perpetuates the myth that abuse is only serious if physical. Many survivors themselves start believing that.
2- It is triggering for those who have experienced it.
BIG NEWS! Please give a #feministweb warm welcome to who will be joining the team as our Movement Builder. Follow her, tag her in things she should read and events she should attend. She'll get to know you all soon. π

Is it really that startling? Our experience shows this is the case. Partners, family members and ex-partners will use society's shaming of women's sexuality & victim-blaming attitude to further the abuse & exploitation. And in many cases, sadly - it works.
