Rape Crisis Scotland

Executive summary of the report produced by the American Psychological Association on the sexualisation of girls.

A White Ribbon Foundation Report.
This report examines how violence against women specifically affects children and young people. It looks at the nature of violence they experience in their homes and their own relationships, its impacts, and the priorities for action if efforts to prevent violence among, and protect, young people are to be successful.

This report updates the guidance given to donors in NPC’s first report on domestic violence, Charity begins at home. It also broadens out the discussion to provide information about tackling other forms of violence against women. This report gives context for donors who wish to understand the range of violence that is committed against women in the UK, the impact that it has, what works to keep women safe and to help them to recover, and how the government is involved. It outlines the vital work of charities in tackling violence against women, shows the results that charities achieve, and helps donors to prioritise their funding based on these results.

Paper by Michele Burman, University of Glasgow, Jenny Johnstone, Newcastle University (both Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research) and Janette de Haan & Jan Macleod, Women's Support Project, looking at the Scope of the Gender Equality Duty to drive cultural and practical change.

The Scottish Women’s Budget Group has produced a concise analysis of the case for gender budget analysis in violence against women spending with ‘Spend Now, Save Later’.  The paper was commissioned by Scottish Women’s Aid and Rape Crisis Scotland and we hope it will inform the debate about how financial decisions should be made and highlight in particular the reasons why frontline services such as rape crisis and women’s aid need continued funding, and the costs of not funding these vital services.
