: Current AwarenessAuthorities have not done enough to prosecute rapists - The Times
By sally
“This Saturday, women from across the UK will describe their experiences of sexual and domestic violence in a public trial to be held in London. The event ? The Rape of Justice ? Who?s Guilty? ? coincides with the 30th anniversary of the campaigning group, Women Against Rape (WAR). Over three decades, WAR has campaigned for changes in the law, including the recognition of rape inside marriage as a crime. It won a landmark private prosecution against a serial rapist after the Crown Prosecution Service refused to prosecute in a case brought by two prostitutes: the rapist was sentenced to 11 years. Below, in an open letter to the Solicitor-General, Vera Baird, QC, the group states why it believes that the authorities are to blame for too little being done to prosecute rapists.”
