*Trigger Warning for discussions around sexual violence and domestic abuse*

We are angered and saddened to hear about the horrific experiences that Harriet Robson has shared on social media. We applaud her bravery for coming out and talking about the awful abuse she has faced, however we wish that she simply did not have to do so. Gender based violence needs to be taken seriously - regardless of whether or not the perpetrator is a public figure, or someone that is in your close social contacts.

There MUST be consequences for Mason Greenwood. He simply cannot get away with such horrific behaviour which is so clearly BEYOND unacceptable. Hold abusers accountable for their actions.
