Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

A note for everyone working in the #VAWG space but especially those with lived experience. Your knowledge is crucial, and you deserve to speak truth to power.
“We can only do this together.” Action against #VAWG means us all playing our part, all sharing our voices, all listening to those with lived experience.

Anyone know any good papers on using creativity as reflexive practice in research? I find my way reading and drawing my way through my PhD and would like to formally incorporate it in my methodology somehow #PhDChatter

Not often that you’ll hear me say I’m proud of myself, but I am actually pretty proud of this keynote from Glasgow last year for @safelives.bsky.social #livedexperience #vawg #domesticviolence #survivorresearch youtu.be/O7eGYXUpiwA

Hi folk, I'm looking for example of research or practice work in/around family courts to get better outcomes for those who've experienced domestic violence/abuse.

I'm keen to hear examples when there is no criminal case, when people are deemed 'standard'/'medium' risk/those who can't get legal aid

Am I the only person who thinks mandatory reporting is an awful idea? I’d have never uttered a word if it had existed when I was a child, I barely didn’t anyway because I didn’t think it would stay confidential.

Anyone know if any papers on its success/downfalls? #VWAG #CSA #mandatoryreporting

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today

Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us.

Because the shame has to switch sides.
