Challenging the Silence: Male Survivor Needs (HUDDERSFIELD)

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND THE SEMINARS YOU MUST BOOK A TICKET

This project will deliver a series of five in-person seminars across West Yorkshire, visiting each of the five local authority areas. Each event will combine the latest research evidence, frontline practice insight, and a powerful lived experience exhibition to challenge the silence surrounding childhood sexual abuse and improve access to support - particularly for male survivors.

The seminars will be led by Survivors West Yorkshire (SWY) and showcase Ben’s Place, West Yorkshire’s only large-scale specialist service for male survivors. Alongside this, Dr Stacey Maher from the University of Huddersfield will present her latest research into male survivors. The events will also feature a wraparound survivor-led photography exhibition, Victorious Voices, which brings together both male and female survivors to demonstrate the strength, solidarity, and allyship that exists across genders in the healing journey.
