WWith all the recent revalations in the new both here in the UK and the USA, with certain public figures in different sectors but all with some form of power, either being accused of some form of abuse or even addmiting to it i felt it was important to express the view that no form of abuse by anyone is acceptable or should be tolerated!! What angers me most about all the recent stories is how so many people either knew or suspected something was going on and said nothing. This hits close to home for me as when i met a couple of really good friends a couple of years after i was raped they revealed to me that they thought somethinghad happened to me and suspected my attackers had done it to others but they turned a blind eye.
While not all those acccused are guilty it is important all forms of abuse is brought out into the open and investigated ! And when i say all forms of abuse i mean anything from rape, to groping, to sexual harrassment!! What may be considered okay behaviour to some may not feel like so to those on the recieving end !!
Also it is so important that all companies, political parties , religions and everywhere be on the look out for those who may be abusing their position!! Here at @suicidegirls it important that all SGs Hopefuls and Members are allowed to feel safe in the knowledge that no unacceptable behaviour that makes them feel less safe should be tolerated. A hopeful said to me this week that due to another member she felt that this was no longer a safe place to be and that is so tragic and surely not aceptable to anyone here!!
