The great thing about research is finding people who are doing related work and forging connections. I was really honoured recently to be asked to be an Associate Fellow of the Sexual Harms and Medical Encounters (SH+ME) project at Birkbeck.

There are people who dismiss poor responses to abuse in the past as ‘it was a long time ago, people didn’t know about it then’ or ‘things were different then.’ I thought I would do a series of blogs looking at the history of our awareness of CSA. We start with two of the earliest…
