Tonight on @BBCSpotlight Penny reported. Waited three years for court. He got 13 years. She lost her business, her home, her world. Support isn't what comes after justice. It's what makes justice possible. Thanks to @TVVictoriaG for having us @FirstLightSW on

“They’re always like that.” The constant put-downs. The sexual comments passed off as jokes. The harassment that gets brushed aside. Just because it happens all the time… doesn’t mean it’s harmless. And it doesn’t make it okay. Join us and #BlowTheWhistle on Abuse

A huge thank you to BBC Spotlight for inviting First Light to share our concerns about self-test rape kits, and why the responsibility to collect evidence should never be placed on someone who has experienced sexual assault. firstlight.org.uk/news_and_stori…
