Sexual assault and harassment can happen can happen anywhere and anytime, including online spaces. The hardest spill to swallow was the thought of women and children living with their abusers and perpetrators during the lockdown periods. We should all aim to establish a culture in Dominica where victims of sexual violence are supported to move from victim, to survivor, to advocate and to establish systems that offer every victim of sexual crime the opportunity to access the right support. #blackislandgirl #jointhefight #survivor #womensupportingwomen
