To Report or Not To Report
Survivor Testimony of the (In)Justice System sheds light on the real-life experiences of rape survivors in their decision to report, or not to report, what happened to them. Only a minority of rape survivors report the crime. Why is this?
Only a small proportion of those reported rapes are prosecuted. What’s it like to live through that betrayal of the justice process? Only a tiny minority of rape prosecutions end in a conviction. How does that feel to a survivor?
With chapters written by survivors who joined the ReConnected Life Community, this book shines a light on the Justice System from those who are rarely heard: the victim. This is the perspective that is silenced by that system because the System isn’t personal: this is personal.
The final section includes perspectives from professionals supporting survivors in and around the Justice System. With perspectives from Jessica Eaton, Rhiannon Evans, Dr Sarah Heke, Annie Rose and Lynne Tooze, Lucy Allwright and Jennifer Holly, and Dr. Nina Burrowes, they highlight some of the critical issues and share some thoughts for how to solve them.

The Windrush generation refers to the immigrants who were invited to the UK between 1948 and 1971 from Caribbean countries such as Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados.
The name derives from the ship MV Empire Windrush, which on 22nd June 1948, docked in Tilbury, Essex, bringing nearly 500 Jamaicans to the UK.
This book was created as a historical community project that celebrates and brings awareness of the history of those who came over to the UK to rebuild the country and create opportunities for themselves, their wider families and communities.
I am honoured to be a first generation windrush descendant, to be able to participate in this historical moment to bring these stories to light.
Both my parents are now deceased and spent their lives investing in this country, to make it a better place for us. They did not have the opportunities that I and many of us have had, growing up in the UK but they made the most of everything that they had.
Today we stand on their shoulders. Today we thank them for their willingness to work hard; for the many sacrifices they made, that has paved the way for generations to come.
