Rapists walk free all the time. Many
because the victim will not report,
others because there has not been
enough evidence for either the CPS to
take it on or because the high
threshold of 'beyond reasonable doubt'
has not been reached.
The conviction rate for rapists who
have been reported is less than 10%
but there are those who would prefer
to focus on the ones that get convicted
once they have been charged.
The notion that because one woman is
accused of lying, all women must be
lying - this is a thought process which
directly benefits violent men.
Men also make false accusations,
I find it interesting there are no
statistics for this.
“Anyone who cheers when a woman is accused of false
reporting and accuses a female rape victim when she .”
It is still easier for many to believe it is
better for a woman who has been
raped to suffer the injustice of not
having the perpetrator incarcerated
than to think of an innocent man
behind bars.
But what if this was
Your daughter?
Your mother?
Your sister?
Your girlfriend?
Would you still feel the same
way?
Think about it.
DISCUSSION POINT
"It ain't what you do, it's the
way that you do it"
With reference to the above
statement, how does this relate to
a person who advocates, supports
or raises awareness of abuse?
Is the message all that matters or
is the way it is conveyed
important also?
Please send responses to
