Rape & Sexual Violence

  • Approximately 80,000 women suffer rape and attempted rape every year (Walby and Allen, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking: Findings from the British Crime Survey, 2004)
  • Most women in the UK do not have access to a Rape Crisis Centre (Map of Gaps)
  • Conviction rates for rape are now at their lowest, far lower than other crimes (Kelly, Lovett and Regan, A gap or a chasm? Attrition in reported rape cases, 2005). Only 5.7% of reported rape cases end in a conviction for the perpetrator
