Some relationships start with grand gestures but leave you feeling trapped. Love should never come with manipulation.

Solace stands in solidarity with @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social against the hateful and misogynistic abuse she is receiving from the far right.

We continue to provide support for survivors and campaign for societal change so that all women and children can live safe lives free from abuse.

Human rights affect people everywhere, every day. They play a critical role as a preventative, protective and transformative force for good. It serves as a day to reflect on the progress made in promoting human rights and to highlight the challenges that persist.
