028 - Tackling r*pe culture, with Amelia Waterton

Harini Iyer -

In this crucial episode, we precede next week's discussion of the Met police report by talking about the prevalence of r*pe culture in the UK. I am lucky to be joined for the first time by Amelia Waterton, where some of the topics we cover are:

  • the number of sexual assault victims in the UK every year
  • the percentage that go to trial or lead to a conviction
  • child sexual assault rates and convictions
  • Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman's plans against child grooming gangs
  • the use of ethnicity data when fighting sex crimes
  • how porn objectifies women to the point of aggression
