Today is Disability Pride! While the annual march

Today is Disability Pride! While the annual march and event may not be happening, there is an amazing line-up for the online celebration that we encourage you all to attend!
.
We stand with our disabled siblings who will be representing online to raise awareness, build community and show PRIDE!
.
We do this in the knowledge that we still have a long way to go to be an accessible service. We know you are an expert in your own experience, so if you know what you need to be able to access our services, please do reach out and let us know. In the meantime, we will keep learning and keep working to improve the accessibility of our services for all different kinds of people.

We join Srebrenica UK in remembering those whose lives were taken due to hate, & in calling on everyone to challenge hatred and division wherever they witness it.
.
Our team have taken time to think of those lost, and created images of the #SrebrenicaFlower while doing so. We encourage you all to join this project, creating a white flower with 11 petals to mark the anniversary of the genocide, and sharing it with the hashtag #Srebrenica25 .

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Srebre

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, in which over 8,000 Muslim men and boys were murdered in the worst atrocity on European soil since the Second World War, simply because of their religious identity.
.
As an organisation that works with survivors of sexual violence, we believe that we must ensure that we never forget about the genocide and reaffirm our commitment to standing up against all forms of hatred and prejudice that targets groups based on their religion, ethnicity, gender, sexuality or any type of difference.
.
We encourage everyone to attend the national memorial at 7pm today via the Remember Srebrenica Facebook page, and to explore the 11 Actions from the "Every Action Matters" campaign.
.
You can read our full statement, view some powerful video testimonies from Bosnian women, and learn about the 11 actions via the link in our bio.

Our #messagesoflove project invites people to write a message to a survivor on a colourful heart. The hearts are pinned to a board in our drop-in where survivors can pick one and take it home as a reminder that they are believed, loved and supported, even by total strangers. 💛
.
If you would like to make and send us a message of love, please do! PM us for our address or find it on our website. 💜

“When one woman puts her experiences into words,

“When one woman puts her experiences into words, another woman who has kept silent, afraid of what others will think, can find validation. And when the second woman says aloud, ‘yes, that was my experience too,’ the first woman loses some of her fear.” - Carol Christ
.
There is a great deal of power in what feminist organisers refer to as "consciousness raising" - creating a collective awareness of an issue you all experience through the verbalising of those issues. Sometimes we live with experiences that we think are only happening to us, and then find when we speak out that the experience is common and that we can challenge it. Sharing your story can empower someone else, and hearing your struggle can help you and others realise that they are not alone.
.
This is a fundamental part of our group-work when it is running - but it's also something we see in practice on social media, through the #MeToo movement and otherwise - people share their stories, their journeys, and it creates a connected community who are united in shared experience.
.
This is so powerful. You may not be ready to share your story just yet - but when you are there is a community ready to welcome you with open arms, to share in that experience and to validate each other.
