Let's change the narrative on sexual assault, together. These stark statistics underscore the urgent need for change and support: - 1 in 4 women have been raped or sexually assaulted in their adult life. - 1 in 18 men have experienced the same trauma. - In the year ending September 2023, 68,387 rapes were recorded by police, yet only 2.4% resulted in charges. - 1 in 2 rapes against women are committed by a partner or ex-partner. - 6 in 7 rapes against women are perpetrated by someone they know. - 6.5 million women in England and Wales have been raped or sexually assaulted since the age of 16. - 1 in 2 adult survivors of rape have endured this horrific experience more than once. The trauma of sexual assault casts a long shadow, making daily life a struggle for many survivors. Reporting such a deeply personal crime is a daunting decision, and survivors need all the support they can get. Outcry Witness offers a lifeline - a safe, anonymous space for survivors to document their experiences at their own pace. This empowers them with the choice to report to the police whenever they feel ready. We need your help to continue providing this crucial service. Our goal is to raise £10,000 to support all who need us. Join us in supporting survivors and making a difference.

7moHorrendous and terribly sad statistics, and a very important reminder of how much needs to change and how far we are away from intervening in this effectively 😩
