“When you’re raped there is shame, and it’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them. It’s true that I hear lots of women, and men, who say you’re very brave. I say it’s not bravery, it’s will and determination to change society”

What an incredible woman.

Our hospitals are under extreme pressure. You should only come to A&E if it is a critical emergency.
If your loved one is coming home from hospital, please collect them as soon as they are discharged. This frees up hospital transport and beds for those that need them most.
