*Meet 11:30 am* *Saturday 13th September* *Blue Carpet by the Laing Art Gallery* Bring your friends and banners. The far-right and fascist thugs are coming to Newcastle again. They have plans to protest every Saturday - we need to be there to show them their hatred is not welcome. This toxic racist atmosphere does not help victims and survivors of sexual violence. Refugees are not “unvetted criminals”. They are ordinary people fleeing war, persecution, torture, and terror. Many have faced violence themselves. They deserve safety and support—not suspicion and hate. Refugees are not “living in luxury” or getting special treatment. They are forced to live in overcrowded and often unsafe accommodation. The Casey Report published in June 2025 shows that white people are more likely to commit child sexual abuse and exploitation than Asian people. It used statistics from the Complex and Organised Child Abuse Dataset — the most comprehensive database for England and Wales. Another report, from the Home Office in 2020, found that “group-based child sexual exploitation offenders are most commonly white”. Sexual violence is not caused by race or nationality. Women and children are let down every day by the police and authorities. Standing with victims and survivors means demanding justice from those truly accountable. But when the far right blame only a tiny section of society, it means the vast majority of abusers escape suspicion. The far right claim they care about women but their actions prove otherwise. Their real goal is to spread racist division, not to stop violence. Police data showed that two in five of the 899 people arrested after participating in last summer’s riots had previously been reported to the police for domestic abuse. These are the same forces that claim to be ‘protecting’ women today. The far right has never been serious about women's rights.
