Sorry, there was a technical problem. Please try again.
This site is a beta, which means it's a work in progress and we'll be adding more to it over the next few weeks. Your feedback helps us make things better, so please let us know what you think.
We know that different people choose different words to describe themselves, the person who has harmed them, and what's happened to them.
We've thought carefully about the words we use, and have decided to use different terms like victim or survivor, suspect, accused or offender depending on the exact situation.
While we may use these words, you don't have to. You have the right to define yourself and what has happened to you in the way you want to and that feels right to you.
