The organisation works with perpetrators to help tackle rape culture.
Survivors Leading Essential Education and Change works towards "radical approaches to recovery and survivor identity"Survivors of male violence are re-educating perpetrators and others to prevent harm and fight rape culture.
They have since started their own Bristol-based organisation called Survivors Leading Essential Education and Change .Ms Ball said they started their own gender-based violence support organisation after feeling "unheard" when accessing services themselves"Anything around perpetrator work was ignored or the perpetrators or rapists were shown as one dimensional.
In response, the pair devised workshop's called Dismantling Male Violence and Rape Culture: A Survivor Led Course For Men, which started out online during the pandemic. "When it's somebody like our friend we think, well how could they do that? That leads to many survivors not being believed."We hope that our sessions help people be more equipped to support those around them when people they know are harmed," she added.Course participant Blane Abercrombie said he had gained tools and information he could share with his friendsHe was not a perpetrator, but said he chose to attend the sessions to improve his behaviour towards others.
Ms Baker said "to recognise the root of how we prevent sexual harm and violence" means working alongside people who are "more susceptible to causing harm, which statistically speaking is men".by the Office for National Statistics, there were 2.4 million adults in England and Wales who experienced domestic abuse in 2021.

Subjective cognitive decline is a better marker for future cognitive decline in females than in males - Alzheimer's Research & TherapyBackground The identification of biomarkers for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is critical to the development of therapies and interventions targeted at symptom management and tracking the pathophysiology of disease. The endorsement of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) has emerged as a potential indicator of early change in cognitive status that may be predictive of future impairment at a time when measurable declines in neuropsychological performance cannot be detected. While there are numerous findings revealing sex differences in the prevalence of AD, there is a paucity of research examining sex differences in SCD. Therefore, the goal of this project was to determine if the relationship between the endorsement of SCD and future cognitive changes differ as a function of biological sex. Methods A sample of 3019 male and female healthy older adults (2188 without SCD, 831 with SCD), with a mean follow-up time of 5.7 years, were included from the Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center Research Sharing Hub. Linear regressions were performed to determine group differences in baseline cognitive scores, while linear mixed-effects models were completed to determine group differences in the rate of cognitive change over time. Results Individuals endorsing SCD had significantly lower baseline cognitive scores and increased rates of decline in all cognitive domains compared to those without SCD. Males exhibited significantly lower scores in baseline performance in global cognition, episodic memory, and perceptual speed regardless of SCD classification. Females with SCD were found to decline at significantly faster rates than both males with SCD and males and females without SCD in all cognitive domains over a maximum 15-year follow-up period. Conclusions SCD is related to lower baseline cognitive performance and faster cognitive decline compared to those who do not endorse SCD. Females with SCD have the fastest rate of decline suggesting that SCD may be more predictive
