This week is Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week, a time to raise awareness, stand in solidarity with survivors, and challenge the culture that allows abuse to continue.
Sexual abuse and violence can impact anyone, but we know that women and girls are disproportionately affected. At WOMEN’STEC, we are committed to empowering women, not just in careers but in every aspect of their lives—which means standing against abuse, supporting survivors, and advocating for change.
If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out. There are organisations that can help:
Nexus NI – Support for anyone affected by sexual abuse & violence: www.nexusni.org
Women's Aid NI – Support for women & children experiencing domestic & sexual abuse: www.womensaidni.org
Victim Support NI – Free, confidential help for victims of crime, including sexual violence: www.victimsupportni.com
Rape Crisis NI – Support and advocacy for survivors of sexual violence: www.rapecrisisni.org.uk
Lifeline – Crisis support available 24/7: 0808 808 8000
Let’s work together to create a world where everyone feels safe, supported, and heard.
