The repercussions and impacts<br />

of such disclosures are huge and<br />

potentially damaging and this<br />

point is missed in the rush for a<br />

good story. Victims and<br />

survivors are not “for sale” they<br />

are not samples to be paraded<br />

for funding purposes – they are<br />

not case studies for public<br />

consumption.<br />

It has to stop.<br />

ASK THE AUDIENCE<br />

Need a question answered?<br />

Submit it to <strong>CCChat</strong> on:<br />

with QUESTION in the subject<br />

heading and the question will be<br />

posted in the next issue of <strong>CCChat</strong><br />

for a reader to answer.<br />

<strong>CCChat</strong> -Raising Public Awareness<br />

and Bringing Professionals<br />

Together<br />

Most victim and survivor<br />

supporting organisations are<br />

staffed by qualified<br />

professionals who will happily<br />

give quotes and speak endlessly<br />

about the impacts and effects of<br />

interpersonal violence.<br />

Listen to them<br />

Get the reality in print but leave<br />

the victims and survivors to<br />

heal.<br />

Once they have healed, leave<br />

those wounds closed and stop<br />

picking at the edges in the<br />

hopes of some gory seepage that<br />

might just make the front page.<br />

Not for sale.<br />

Not now.<br />

Not ever.<br />
