⚖️'If I'm not a good enough witness, then who the hell is?'

This @guardian podcast lays bare the shocking extent to which the justice system in England & Wales is currently failing rape survivors
theguardian.com/news/audio/201…

‘The real justice gap here is the fact that thousands and thousands of victims are going to the police and their cases...are not being taken forward.’

'Just over a third of 2310 rape cases referred to the @cpsuk between April and September last year resulted in charges being brought.
Five years ago that figure was 62%'

'There is a real issue with the way rape is prosecuted in this country and nobody is as yet coming up with a solution to fix it.'
