Most survivors of rape don't choose to report to the police, for all kinds of reasons, not least because of how awful the criminal justice system can be. This is a hard but compelling read from 15 survivors about their experiences. So much needs to change:

This comes at a time of deep public distress at the state of violence against women & girls. In 2019, over 55 000 case of rape were reported to the police; just 1,758 went to court. Our criminal justice system is broken & needs radical overhaul and transformation.
