Everyone processes traumatic events differently, and there is no 'one way' to feel after experiencing abuse or violence.

For some people, these experiences can have a deep and lasting impact.

We are deeply concerned by the Metropolitan Police’s recent decision to stop investigating non-crime hate incidents. This change risks allowing hate and harm to escalate unchecked - and will only deepen the LGBT+ community’s lack of trust in the force.
