Northwest Sexual Violence Awareness Week
Since recording this episode of the podcast, CSASS have made the very difficult decision to close. This is due to the ongoing challenges of securing and sustaining funding, an issue that affects so many small charity organisations. We would like to thank CSASS for their incredible work over the past 30 years.

Katie and Kathryn discuss the impact of sexual violence, the support services available to survivors, and the steps we can all take to create safer, more inclusive communities. We explore practical ways to advocate for change, including participation in the Reclaim the Night March and how to foster a culture of respect and consent.
