Mims Davies MP speaks in House of Commons on Women and Equality after meeting with Sexual Assault Survivors
Mims had the privilege of meeting with survivors of sexual assault to hear first-hand about their experiences and the challenges they continue to face in seeking justice, support, and recovery.
The courage shown by those who shared their stories was both humbling and inspiring. Survivors spoke about the lasting impact of sexual violence, the barriers they encountered when reporting offences, and the need for greater support services and stronger protections for survivors.
Following Mims' meeting, she raised these issues in the House of Commons.
No survivor should feel unheard, unsupported, or let down by the system. Their voices matter, and the Labour Government must listen and take swift action.
Mims Davies MP said in the Chamber:
As a 16-year-old, Kate worked a summer at Harrods.
In 2024, she told her story of being raped at work.
Intimate medical examinations were carried out on women by senior Harrods staff and security. Hundreds of women’s attacks were silenced.
How will the Justice for Fayed and Harrods Survivors be heard?
I met some of those brave women this week.
How will they get the whole truth, justice, and systemic change, if the Met police inquiry remains stalled, and if enablers - some of them women - are left at large? Incredibly, over 500 victims still need answers.
