Please be kind to any survivors of sexual abuse you might know. Every minute there's another headline reminding us of how we were manipulated, how we were silenced, how no one listened, how no one stopped it, how long it was allowed to go on and how powerful the abusers were. 💔

This matters. No one emerged from such institutions unscathed, and Britain is run too often by men who had all empathy beaten out of them. There as many abuse victims as there are those who depended on sacrificing human decency to survive, and it's a habit they've never shaken.

"They shamefully failed to protect the pupils and appear to have knowingly exposed them to teachers with a history of abusing children."
