One of our service users spoke to BBC Look North for a report aired on the 27th January about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the court system for women who are reporting rape and sexual violence.

Watch the clip below:

Our Advocacy service is here to support women and girls over the age of 16 who are thinking of reporting an incident of sexual violence to the police, or have already done so. Our ISVAs provide independent, specialist, trauma-informed advice and advocacy to help women feel empowered, supported, and in control of their choices throughout the duration of their case’s process through the criminal justice system.
