RICHARD GADD HELPS SURVIVORS MOVE 'BEYOND THE SILENCE'

Male sexual abuse charity, We Are Survivors, has launched its brand new quarterly magazine, Beyond The Silence, with the help of the creator of the Netflix international smash hit Baby Reindeer, Richard Gadd.

This is the first ever magazine from the organisation and has been created to ensure that space is created for the important discussion on male victims / survivors of sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation.

Magazine Editor, Grahame Robertson, said: "Whilst the newsletter format served us well, our organisational vision is for a society where NO male survivor is left behind and with such a bold vision, we need an equally bold way to get the UK talking."

This first edition is packed full of the latest news from the sexual violence sector; the lowdown on the organisation's two new digital campaigns that look at ChemSex and being the best survivor ally you can be; and even takes the reader on a tour of the amazing new community space.

But is the issues cover star that we're most excited to present. For around a decade now, writer, comedian, actor and now creator of the biggest Netflix series - Baby Reindeer, Richard Gadd has been an ambassador of the organisation and stood with us as a male survivor and in support of male survivors. 

Talking exclusively in the magazine, Richard talks about the positive effect Baby Reindeer has had and why he is such a proud supporter of We Are Survivors. In the interview, Richard describes how talking about using his lived experience as a survivor has been cathartic and how that conversation with the charity's founder, Duncan Craig OBE, helped him see how vital the support for male survivors is from a first hand perspective.
