This #InternationalWomensDay, we're celebrating the contributions of survivor women, and calling for an end to the disbelief, lottery of support, misinformation, and barriers to work they still face.

Lilac, sans serif text on a white background: "RECOGNISING SURVIVORS ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY". In the top right-hand corner, a white version fo the After Exploitation logo - a hand-drawn rising sun flanked by the words 'After Exploitation' - is in a black circle. Background: Black and white newspaper-print style image of a woman with long black hair looking to her side. Text on white box in centre of the image: Survivors still face disbelief. Under the Nationality and Borders Act, survivors now have to provide more evidence sooner in order to get basic forms of support. Other survivors are barred from help because of their immigration status or offending history. Even worse, new Home Office guidance says sexual exploitation is ‘less likely’ to have happened if there aren’t multiple perpetrators or victims involved. Reversing these measures alone could uphold the rights of thousands of women and girls currently at risk of slipping through the net after modern slavery. Background: Black and white newspaper-print style image of a teacher tied back hair and round circular glasses writing words on a whiteboard. Text on white box in centre of the image: LANGUAGE MATTERS Women and girls can be exploited in any industry, just as men and boys may can be victims of sexual exploitation. Avoiding stereotypes helps us to improve understanding of the complexity of exploitation and ensure all of us - including professionals and survivors themselves - can recognise it. It is important not to conflate sexual exploitation with all sex work, as these are not the same and both groups have needs specific to their experiences. Background: Black and white newspaper-print style image of a white woman with blonde hair speaking into a megaphone alongside a taller black woman with afro hair in dungarees, chanting at a protest. Text on white box in centre of the image: Woman survivors are a force for change. In our experience, many are exposing injustice and pushing for survivor inclusion in campaigns and political life. Yet, immigration restrictions and criminalisation prevent many survivors from working in the very sectors trying to represent them.
