Focusing on trafficking from, into and through the European sex industries, its preparation involved detailed literature searches.

Rape: The Forgotten Issue? A European Research and Networking Project

This publication arose from a collaboration between three UK groups (CWASU, South Essex Rape and Incest Crisis Centre and Campaign to End Rape), supported by partners from Ireland (The Network of Rape Crisis Centres, Ireland) and Finland (Rape Crisis Centre, Tukinainen). One of the roles of CWASU in this partnership was to conduct research and produce this report on the criminal justice response to rape across Europe, which includes recommendations with regard to the need for, and potential roles of a European Network on rape and sexual assault.
