It’s never too late

It doesn’t matter if something happened five days, 15 years, or 50 years ago – it’s never too late to have support.

This was an online campaign that we launched to counterbalance negative media portrayals of people bringing historic cases forward.  We felt it was important to open a dialogue up about this because too many women and girls never tell anyone about the abuse they have experienced.

The main message of the campaign was: whether it happened 50 years ago, 10 years ago, one year ago or yesterday we will always take it seriously, listen to you and believe you.
