Speaking prior to of Rape Crisis Scotland’s launch of ‘This Is Not An Invitation to Rape Me’ Campaign, Cheryl Gedling, Chairperson of the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) Women’s Committee said:
“The STUC fully supports Rape Crisis Scotland’s new campaign. It is absolutely vital that we tackle Scotland’s appalling conviction rates in rape cases, along with the attitudes some people hold where they believe a woman may in some part be to blame. This Is Not An Invitation To Rape Me is challenging and hard-hitting, and addresses some of the preconceptions and myths about women and rape”.
The STUC Women’s Committee received a presentation on the Rape Crisis Scotland campaign at its meeting on Monday 13 October 2008.
