Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week 2023
#ITSNOTOK
Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Awareness Week (6-12 Feb) seeks to start conversations about sexual violence and break the silence surrounding abuse.
The aim is to spread the message that sexual violence or sexual abuse is never acceptable and anyone who is a survivor of sexual violence or abuse will be listened to and supported.
You’re not alone
