Abuse continues to impact lives long after the assault has been committed, as survivors know all to well.

New blog Lasting Impact aims to raise awareness about "the long term impacts of sexual assault, domestic violence, and physical and emotional abuse", by providing a platform where survivors can share their experiences anonymously.

The campaign also hopes to help men and women come to terms with their experience of abuse, by showing them that "they are not alone".
