Victim Support

Only you can decide whether or not to report to the police. The majority of victim-survivors do not tell the police what has happened, however many feel accessing independent support can help them to move forward

If you’re the victim of rape or sexual assault, the police and other organisations are there to help

Call 999 to report a rape or attempted sexual assault, as soon as possible after the crime

Remember that victim-survivors are notto blame for the sexual violence they havebeen subjected to, and all victim-survivorshave the right to report what happened.There are no time limits to report sexualviolence to the police.

But most survivors don't report it to the police

Where did we get the data for these statistics from? Crown Prosecution Service | Home Office | Ministry of Justice | NSPCC | Office for National Statistics | Ofsted

1 in 3 adults who are raped experience it in their own home

Sexist name-calling and being sent unwanted 'dick pics' or other images of a sexual nature happens to them or other girls and young women their age.

9 in 10 girls and young women in schools say:

40% said ‘embarrassment’ 38% said they didn’t think the police could help 34% said they thought it would be humiliating

5 in 6 women who are raped don’t report – and the same is true for 4 in 5 men. Lots of these survivors tell someone else what happened. So, why don't they tell the police?

Striking a balance between having your own views and respecting others' perspectives is key. It is possible to hold firm to your beliefs while being open to different ideas and perspectives. This balance promotes healthy discussions and helps build meaningful relationships.

Having your own views is empowering and essential for personal development. It allows you to express yourself, think critically, and contribute to a diverse society. Remember to respect others' perspectives and engage in constructive conversations.

Striking a Balance
Conclusion

While having your own views is important, it is equally crucial to respect others' perspectives. Respecting different opinions fosters a diverse and inclusive society. It allows for open dialogue, empathy, and understanding.

Respecting Others' Perspectives
Importance of having your own views

It is important to have your own views and opinions as they help shape your identity and contribute to personal growth. Your unique perspective allows you to express yourself and make independent decisions. Having your own views also promotes critical thinking and encourages you to question the status quo.

What does Incel mean?

Incel, short for involuntary celibate, is a term that refers to a community of people, usually men, who are unable to find romantic partners despite wanting to. Incels often blame their lack of success with potential partners on society or biology, and may harbour resentment or hatred towards those they believe are ‘more successful in the dating world'.

QUIZ

Misogyny is the hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women. It is a form of prejudice that is often rooted in gender stereotypes and traditional gender roles. Misogyny can manifest in many different ways, ranging from subtle condescension and belittling of women to more overt forms of violence and discrimination.

Help and support

What is misogyny?

There also appears to be an overlap between incel culture and the hyper-nationalist, anti-feminist movement of the alt-right. Both movements view the world through the lens of group genetics, with racial stereotypes, and think of themselves as unfairly maligned minority groups under attack by political correctness
