Why this petition matters

Started by Joanie Waller

People should have options about where they get a rape test. Currently we have to go to a SARC (Sexually  Assault Referral Centre) which is inappropriate for some people. There is on average one SARC per county in the UK. Sometimes we want to get a rape test  without police interference ( we can  dream that the police want to prosecute but the statistics for rape prosecution are shocking! 'While there were 52,210 rapes recorded by police in England and Wales in 2020, only 843 resulted in a charge or a summons – a rate of 1.6%.' Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/society/rape  Moreover a private test weather it be free or not would   preserve the evidence until the victim/survivor is strong enough to manage  the rape & hopefully  get support to prosecute the perpetrator(s).  Take back your power!  We all want the rapists to be banged up but let's start with the victim/survivor first �️ We want access to options when we need a rape test. Rape has conseqences & it is so disruptive to our lifes. We must change the way things are done . We need more choice ! Maybe we could get it done at STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) clinic?  because we want to be Getting on Getting on �with our life's! We don't want or need rape, it doesn't help us grow into better people. It's  simple it's a violation. It's a physical attack.�‍♂️ Date Rape drugs = More rapes!
