ENOUGH is enough. 🗣️

The Ministry of Justice has launched a new strand of the Government’s ENOUGH campaign, reminding us that we all have a part to play in ending violence against women and girls (VAWG).

When someone trusts us enough to share their experience of ab*se, how we respond matters. Our response can influence whether they feel safe enough to seek help.

So, what can you do?

1. LISTEN without judgement.
2. BELIEVE them and take what they share seriously.
3. SUPPORT them in accessing the help they need.

You don’t have to be a professional to make a difference.

Let’s challenge harmful attitudes, speak up when we witness inappropriate behaviour and create spaces where survivors feel safe enough to be heard.

Imagine surviving childhood sexual assault, only to have the very person who failed to protect you become the face of a $4 million political attack against you.

That is what Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign is doing to Amy Acton.

And beyond the cruelty of this decision, think about the message it sends to every survivor who has been silenced, disbelieved, or betrayed by the people who should have protected them.

That even decades later, their trauma can be weaponized against them.

This is despicable. And it should outrage every single one of us, regardless of political affiliation.

No political ambition justifies exploiting someone’s childhood sexual assault.

We stand with Amy Acton and every survivor whose experiences have been used against them.

To every survivor of sexual assault: We’re so proud of you.

These past few weeks have been heavy. With so much conversation about sexual assault and sexual violence in the news and across social media, we know it can be a lot to carry.

We want you to know that we are proud of you.

For showing up. For speaking out, if you chose to. For setting boundaries, taking breaks when you needed them, and finding moments of joy even when things feel difficult.

And we’re proud of you for all the things that have nothing to do with your experience as a survivor, too.

We know there has been a lot of pain in our community lately, so today, we want to make a little room for hope.

What’s one thing you’ve done these past few weeks that you’re proud of?

Maybe you accomplished something you’ve been working toward, spent time with someone you love, tried something new, or simply made it through another day.

Big or small, we’d love to celebrate it with you.

If you feel comfortable, share your moment in the comments.

With love,
@ihavetherighttoorg

These three stories and three subsequent laws are part of nearly two dozen swift calls to legal action, accountability and policy changes that have occurred after a frat tragedy involving young men. Despite the thousands of reported s*xual assaults at campuses across the country, we have no laws named for any young women that seeks to hold fraternities and their members accountable.

Don’t talk to me about she knew what she was getting into…don’t talk to me about she shouldn’t drink so much…don’t talk to me about personal responsibility. Because you never demand that from a boy.

What’s the next small step you can take?

We will need big steps too but we should not dismiss the difference a lot of small steps makes.

A lot of this looks like unlearning some patterns of thinking and acting that we have been taught for decades. That won’t happen over night.

Here are some accounts I learn a lot from. Spanning masculinity, mental health, culture, consent and more. I am highlighting a variety of styles and approaches, find what works for you. Follow a couple that push your comfort zone too.

There’s now a free, private resource hub for survivors of gender-based violence — with hotlines and support organizations in one place, and no signup needed.

The online service is available in New York, with its developers planning expansion into other states.

It is with slightly shaking hands and a heart full of gratitude that I share an interview that I did for the Unfiltered Stories podcast. I shared my survivor story with great detail and care. Click the link in my bio to watch it. Thank you @marleeliss for being a wonderful interviewer and for all the work you do with @survivors4justicereform . Two of the resources I mentioned in the interview can be found at @mtmvcommunity and @hiddenwaternyc

A society cannot claim to value safety while treating anyone’s victimization as an acceptable part of justice.

Our carceral system is a key component in the cycle of violence, so it’s no wonder safety is still a concern for many in the U.S.

For true enhanced community safety and well-being, we need to invest in community-based means of holding accountability, preventing harm, and responding to violence that are humanizing and do not perpetuate trauma and victimization.
