"This is no occasion to subject family and friends of your victims to any delay or suspense. I therefore make clear at once for each of these three murders, the sentence will be one of life imprisonment with a whole-life order. That means a sentence from which you will never be released"

By early August 2024, 50 women had allegedly been killed by men in the UK. Now, it is thought that number is closer to 100.
But these women shouldn’t just be considered yet another statistic in a horrifying body count. These women mattered.

No matter what you say or do, abuse is never your fault.

Even if you made big mistakes, even if you did something very wrong, you STILL do not deserve to be abused. Full stop.

Behind every statistic is a person – someone whose life has been shaped by fear, harm, and often a lack of access to the right help.

Tomorrow marks the 1 year anniversary of CMS becoming signatories of the Sexual Safety in Healthcare Organisational Charter. A lot of work has been done in that time educating staff and policy writing.

Below is the poster I made which is in every toilet in our main base and HQ.
