Gosh what a powerful article. Those figures are horrific and far worse than most of us could even have imagined.
Thank you for being so brave and pulling all this together, plus outlining the switch required by society - focusing by on the stopping and preventing rather than placing responsibility on our reactions.
Thank you Anya, these are just some of the figures too, there are so many more areas - there doe not seem to be any setting in which women/children are safe from sexual violence...
… and thinking about it since reading your article, what has concerned me further is that these figures are based only on what we know - what is reported. Plenty of us have been through things we have never told anyone about, let alone formally reported, so it seems women being unsafe has been a way of life. Work like yours can only help to bring about less collusion, thank you.

Thank you Anya, I think about this a lot - who has not yet reported? thousands I would estimate.
