Rape: Still a Forgotten Issue

This paper is one element of a much larger project seeking to develop and strengthen links between European women's NGOs working on rape. It builds on the previous Daphne Project Rape the Forgotten Issue (Kelly and Regan, 2001 - see below also). This report presents updated attrition data across a number of European countries, and shows how the rates of conviction for rape continue to fall to a contemporary all-time low in much of the EU and beyond.
