This is Rebecca Goodwin
She was raped. She reported it. She even handed in a 7 minute recording of her sexual assault.
Police said it was insufficient evidence.
Fearing he would target others, she exposed the man publicly. Out of fear, he handed himself in and was remanded.
But on appeal, he was released. He is now bailed until a court date in 2027.
Rebecca has been failed. Women across this country are failed daily. We ask why women don’t report? This is why.
Violence against women is a pandemic that not only leave trauma but is killing women everyday in the UK
#Violenceagainstwomen
My cousin was sexually assaulted, and some of the relatives asked, “Why didn’t she fight back?” I said, “Handing over your wallet when you're getting mugged is seen as a way to keep yourself safe. Yet when you comply during Sexual Assault, people ask why you didn't fight back.”
Silence in the room
