Help Sarah’s Legal Challenge to Secure Female Only Rape Crisis Therapy I’m suing Brighton’s Rape Crisis Centre Survivors’ Network for discrimination because it refused to provide a women-only peer support group. I am a survivor of sexual abuse.

I finally have a court date!! 22-30 September 2025. The court case will determine whether women who’ve survived sexual violence should have the option of single sex support. Mixed sex ‘women’s’ support groups are currently the only option. www.crowdjustice.com/case/help-sa...

So are gay men, but I don’t think they should be in women’s prisons either.

Trans rights activists are livid that male sex offenders with male genitalia who are legally male are put in a men’s prison 🤯

Sign our open letter in support of @sarahsurviving.bsky.social

A victim-survivor she is asking Brighton' #RapeCrisis service to provide single-sex support services.

Women in Brighton are self-excluding from life-saving service. This has to change.

Rapists go free thanks to court delays, says chief prosecutor After a year as DPP, Stephen Parkinson discusses how to stop cases collapsing, limits on free speech and his admiration for Elon Musk (although it’s not mutual)

Defendents are taking advantage of delays in the criminal justice system 👀 mhttps://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/rapists-go-free-thanks-to-court-delays-says-chief-prosecutor-rjkq3nwbl

Just got home with the kids (little kids) but the front door is wide open 😱 I am certain we closed and locked it when we left. 99% certain. Nothing appears to be missing. But literally anyone could’ve crept in and hidden themselves behind a door or in a wardrobe. Now what? 😨
