"Over the five years following a sexual assault, victims’ employment falls by 6 percentage points and annual earnings decline... These effects persist for at least a decade and correspond to a 15% decline in employment, 17% earnings loss, and 28% rise in anti-depressant use"

I love small acts of kindness and as someone living with chronic illness and disability, these types of texts are always lovely to receive. Even if I haven’t heard from someone in years, it is always lovely to reconnect. 💙

If we all had the same skin colour, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and abilities, there would be people who would group us by finger length, eye colour, head shape, etc., because they just want to oppress and exploit. The categories don’t matter to them, it’s all about the oppression.
