Rape Review: ‘Black victims still being failed’ Report by leading women's rights groups found specialist services underfunded by LeahMahon_
BLACK AND minoritised victims of sexual offences are still being failed two years on from a landmark review into rape prosecution rates, leading women’s rights group have said.
The Centre for Women’s Justice, the End Violence Against Women Coalition, Imkaan and Rape Crisis England & Wales have now released a report examining the progress made for victims and survivors going through the criminal justice system. The report said the scale of women being failed could never be fully transparent because of the failure to record data of marginalised groups such as migrants, disabled women and Black and minoritised women.
“Too many are still being denied justice, and are still left retraumatised after engaging with the system. This remains entirely unacceptable. The report goes onto recognise how positive change has been seen in several areas such as the establishment of a 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line, steps towards specialist rape courts, and a reduction in the length of time some forces retain victims’ mobile phones.
