Cafe V Support Group for Survivors of Sexual Violence

Cafe V Support Group for Survivors of Sexual Violence - Sh! Women's Store
Cafe V is a sexual well-being workshop we host in partnership with My Body Back Project .
It's a safe space for female survivors of sexual violence to come together, discuss, and find practical solutions and help with reclaiming pleasurable sexuality, after rape or sexual assault.
Cafe V was inspired after receiving a letter about sex after rape from the founder of MBBP. In the letter, we learnt that there's precious little practical help for women dealing with and recovering from the physical effects of sexual violence or abuse.
The first Cafe V was held on Sat 14th March at Sh! Women's Erotic Emporium,  57 Hoxton square. London N1
Hosted by the warm and welcoming Pavan  and Amanda (Sex & Psychology Expert),  guests were greeted at the door and quickly put at ease. With flowing coffee and pastries on hand, within the relaxed, totally female-focussed environment of Sh!  the session was informative, well-paced, warm and empowering. Vulva Puppet
Towards the end of the session, we joined in, talking about vulvas, vaginas, lube and small-size vibrators, using our plush vulva puppet Rosie for demonstration, who proved very popular with the guests!
