I am fundraising for Rape Crisis England & Wales to stand in solidarity with victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse by walking 100km from 7th February to 8th March. Rape and sexual abuse are devastating crimes but unfortunately are not at all uncommon. 20% of women have experienced some type of sexual assault since the age of 16*.By stepping out every day for 30 days I am helping Rape Crisis England & Wales to continue their vital work:- Directly supporting victims and survivors and providing information- Promoting the needs and rights of women and girls who have experienced sexual abuse, rape and all forms of sexual violence- Raising awareness of sexual violence and abuse in the wider community and with government.- Driving excellence within Rape Crisis Centres via National Service StandardsYour donation will help to keep the Rape Crisis movement moving.* https://rapecrisis.org.uk/get-informed/about-sexual-violence/statistics-sexual-violence/
