Today, @rapecrisis.bsky.social CEO @ciarabergman.bsky.social has publicly and directly criticised the total absence of the sexual violence reduction - or any VAWG mission related mention - in the PMs milestones speech & the real term cut in victim services funding. rapecrisis.org.uk/news/our-ceo...
