During Sexual Violence Awareness Week, we want to be clear and unapologetic about one thing 💜

Consent matters. Always.

It’s okay to say no.
It’s okay to change your mind.
And it’s okay to set boundaries - no explanations needed.

Your body is yours. Your rules apply. Your choices deserve respect.

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence or abuse, you are not alone. Support is available, and help is free, confidential, and here when you’re ready.

Today is International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Ge***al Mutilation. It results in life long harm and increased health issues for victims. Every year 4 million girls are subject to the procedure, half of them are under 5 years old. 230 million women and girls live with the scars and the pain. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal aim is to eradicate this violation by 2030. We must work harder and faster and invest in prevention.

For those living with the impact of cancer and for those who are no longer with us as a result of it, we owe it to them to find better treatment and ultimately a cure.
Today is World Cancer Day focusing on raising awareness about cancer and advocating for improved access to healthcare services. The theme for this year is "Close the Care Gap," emphasizing the need for equitable cancer care for all.

RESEARCH REQUEST: We've been contacted by Liberating Research Ltd, a patient research group looking to speak with people to help shape endometrial (womb) cancer future care. This involves a 60-minute interview and a short pre-task, with £95 thank-you payment (plus an option to donate 10% to Peaches).

**Have you had a recurrence of womb (endometrial) cancer and two lines of treatment?**

The aim of this study is to better understand the real-life experiences of patients and families affected by recurrent endometrial cancer. By hearing directly from you, the researchers hope to identify gaps in care and research, and better meet the needs of those living with the condition.

You may be eligible to take part if:

🔸You’ve had recurrent endometrial cancer
🔸You’ve had two lines of treatment
🔸Your cancer returned or progressed during or after your first treatment

If this sounds like you, or if you'd like to find out more and register your interest via this link: https://www.liberatingresearch.com/projects/588/1811

As an extra boost, Peaches will receive a referral fee for every person who takes part in an interview via this link, which helps support our work.

Liberating Research, a patient research community based in the UK, is conducting a market research study on behalf of a pharmaceutical company focused on Endometrial Cancer. The goal of this study is to better understand the lived experiences of patients affected by endometrial cancer, so we can better meet their needs and address gaps in patient care and research.

We are looking for patients diagnosed with recurrent endometrial cancer, who have received at least 2 lines of systemic therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, immunotherapy).
The study will include a 15-minute online pre-task and a 60-minute online interview via Zoom. The incentive is £95 in total, with 10% donated to a charity, which could be the Peaches Womb Cancer Trust, one of our registered charities.

If this fits your profile and you are interested in participating, please register via this link: https://www.liberatingresearch.com/projects/588/1811. A member of the Liberating Research team will then contact you to ask a few eligibility questions.
Thank you! Would you be interested in taking part in this research study? End Description.]

In an ageing community we need to ensure that older women's rights are not overlooked. https://www.facebook.com/share/1GPTNcxHUY/

This is a very frightening statistic. But it's not just a statistic, its 1200 lives ripped apart by the violence of someone else who felt it was acceptable to violate someone else, and it's the ripple effect of everyone who is affected. Sexual violence is unacceptable, everyone deserves to be safe.

Today marks the start of Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Awareness Week.

In England and Wales, around 200 rapes are recorded by the police every single day - and many, many more go unreported.

Women and girls should not have to plan routes home, clutch keys, share live locations, or make themselves smaller to stay safe. The burden belongs where it always should have been: on perpetrators - and on the systems that too often fail to stop them.

Join Trevi at Reclaim the Night to demand an end to violence against women and girls, and to demand safer streets for all.

We march for survivors.
We march for accountability.
We march until safety is real.

Friday night was Ceilidh Night, in support of Peaches Womb Cancer Trust..
An opportunity for fabulous company, great music, excellent Callers, an awful lot of movement, possibly a few crushed toes, but overall tremendous fun! Thank you to everyone who supported the evening and the charity and thanks to The White Eagle Club for so ably accommodating us.

The British Gynaecological Cancer Society, Eve Appeal and Peaches Womb Cancer Trust are jointly funding the Endometrial Cancer Audit Pilot (ECAP).

The ECAP looks at 23,484 women diagnosed in England between 2017 and 2019. During this three-year period, most women were diagnosed at stage 1, when womb cancer is usually very treatable.

Today, a second report, the Treatment Report, has been published, showing how the treatments women receive can differ across the country.
