Is trending at number 1 in the UK at present. I haven't been around all day so I'm not sure what this has happened in response to and came here to find out, but there aren't any threads. Heart breaking reading these stories and the effects on rape victims who can't access support services because they've been excluded by male-centring policy.

Do ERCC have permission from the authors of Rising Free to distribute it? Hope this isn't a derail but it speaks to the attitude of MW / ERCC ignoring survivors and rape victims voices.

www.ercc.scot/rising-free/
Rising Free is a deeply moving anthology of creative writing by survivors who have used our services.

HOW TO GET A COPY
Copies of Rising Free, are available by donation from our centre or can be posted out for a donation, plus £3 postage and packaging. Please email [email protected] if you would like a copy.

FindTheTruth: we believe there has been a breach of copyright, yes, hence the kerfuffle. I am advising my friend to lawyer up and go to the press because the ERC are in damage control mode regarding this and other negative press right now.

NachoBabe solidarity to you and your friend. 💐

Bloody hell. It speaks volumes doesn't it, that the women who wrote this book have not only been done over but their efforts, not to mention their experiences, are being used as a resource by MW.

I sincerely hope your friend feels able to do this. This abysmal situation needs to be all over the press as a national scandal, for multiple reasons. This is politics at its very muckiest.

@Tibtom

Though a page admin can delete comments on facebook.
Facebook posts there show more than 60 comments, but I can only see about half a dozen. So someone is deleting.

It’s appalling and becoming more appalling with every day. The joining of dots and seeing the connections between many of the people involved is mind blowing and not in a good way.
