New "Campaigning & activism" issue of Rape Crisis News
The latest issue of Rape Crisis News focuses on campaigning and activism against sexual violence.
We are delighted to publish a great range of contributions, from the story of an anti-rape campaign in Canada and the End Violence Against Women Coalition's "We Are Man" viral, to Survivors UK's "Real Men Get Raped" campaign as well as the brand new "We Can Stop It" campaign, (launched last month by ACPOS in Scotland) - and many more.
