The research Akua refers to - which was put before the Supreme Court - was conducted by @matildagosling.bsky.social on behalf of the Lesbian Project and is linked below (this is just one of several papers in the series)

Highlighted section of article: “Research shows that lesbians are at higher risk of rape, sexual assault and sexual victimisation than other groups, including heterosexual women and gay men. These risks decrease when lesbians have good social support.”

Remarkable article by a Commissioner of the Scottish Human Rights Commission (albeit written in a personal capacity):

There should be no consolation whatsoever found in the fact that, besides Scotland, these issues have manifested elsewhere. We live only once. The lives of many have been damaged, indelibly, because organisations entrusted by the public to uphold their rights and keep them safe abandoned their mandates. Should it come as a surprise, if support drains from the political ‘mainstream’ against this backdrop? The wider institutional and cultural pathologies that have found their most recent expression in the Peggie case and responses to it must be urgently addressed – or belief in the value of democratic institutions may be the last casualty.
