The Blogger layout doesn't always work perfectly on phones and tablets, and the strip of links on the right hand side is often invisible, meaning finding a specific post or page is not always easy. From now on, I'll link to this page at the bottom of every post, to make finding everything easier.
So, here (in no particular order) are links to all of the blog's content.
- About - an explanation of why I blog about sexual violence.
- My Story - links to all of the posts about my own experiences of sexual violence, and the repercussions in my life.
- 1988; 2006 - I was sexually abused, aged three to four, by a babysitter.
- May 1996 - I was sexually assaulted on a school trip, aged 11.
- August 1996 - I was raped on holiday, shortly before my 12th birthday.
- Broken - the impact on my mental health was huge.
- Submissions - links to all of the stories of experiencing sexual violence submitted by readers of the blog. I am awed by these people's willingness to share their stories on this blog. Please read them.
- From a reader, 18, UK
- From a female reader, 19, UK
- From a female reader, 24, UK
- From a female reader, mid-thirties, UK
- Terminology - the words I use (and avoid using) in this blog.
- TMI - on sexual violence and "over-sharing".
- "Date Rape" - a Working Title - rape is rape. Further classification merely dilutes reality.
- Shame, Blame, and Silence - on secrecy and victim blaming.
- Dr Nina Burrowes on "Getting Away With it" - links to an excellent video on sexual offending.
- Regret and Resentment - on Sarah Vine and rape denial.
- Getting Help - details of organisations who work with people who have experienced sexual violence.
- Freezing - on the dangerous myth that "real victims fight back".
