'It's about putting the focus where it belongs, onto actionable solutions that don't involve blaming victims.'
Yes, it's kind of crowdsourcing ideas. It's really about starting a conversation and about changing that rigid public narrative that still focuses on culpability in victims.
I guess part of the problem is that violence against women and girls feels like such an insurmountable problem; it's almost as if we've become desensitised to it. “Just in Somerset and Avon alone, there are over a thousand rape survivors waiting for support because we're not funding it properly, and that just breaks my heart.”
I guess the only other thing to say is that I really hope that policymakers and gatekeepers in positions of power sit up and take notice. And that's the point of making a lot of noise around this, which is not to say that individuals are responsible for coming up with the solutions.
