No More Rape Myths

Rape myths and misinformation are prevalent in our society and are often spread by the media. This makes it more difficult for survivors to be believed and access support.

Join our No More Rape Myths campaign to directly challenge rape myths in the media and create positive change.

Support After TV

Our research ‘Out of the Shadows’ shows that support information provided after TV programmes can help survivors recognise abuse and get the support they need.

The provision of support information is patchy and does not occur online.

Sign our petition to get this changed.

#GetConsent Campaign

The #GetConsent Campaign created with the Consent Coalition looks at some common consent issues and asks Do You Get Consent? The resource contains click through pictures to more information and posters that are free to download.
