Although they might seem like a good idea, self-swab rape kits can't prove a lack of consent. Plus, they only focus on DNA, which is a small part of the evidence collected in a forensic medical exam. Get informed: rapecrisis.org.uk/get-informed/s…

Abuse can make us feel alone and trapped, with nowhere to turn. For #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, help us share the message that no one is alone support is available. Reach out to the people around you. Let them know you're there if they need to talk. It will make a difference.

Knowing someone is there can make all the difference But remember 👉 Don't pressuring them to leave, report, or confront the abuser. 👉Avoid ultimatums or deadlines 👉Respect their pace. Your support matters. Just being there can be a lifeline.
