Here’s what they say
Spiking is on the rise. Studies report up to 15% of women and 7% of men have had something put into their drink without their knowledge or consent. But the Government is failing to take this growing problem seriously.
Good Law Project has teamed up with The Gemini Project, a non-profit which works to tackle sexual violence, to challenge this failure.
While many of us know someone who has been spiked, there are no official statistics that are routinely published. Last year, Parliament said the Government must publish a report on spiking and the steps they were taking to address it. The deadline for this report passed in April, but they have produced nothing.
It’s impossible to solve a problem when you don’t even know how big it is. So we are demanding that the Government publishes the report setting out the nature and prevalence of spiking, as well as the steps they are taking in response which Parliament has required it to do.
We can’t let the current lack of reporting, resources, training and action leave people – particularly young women – at risk.
If you believe spiking must be taken more seriously, and are in a position to help, a donation of any amount would help us fund this challenge and keep everyone safe.
Thank you for your support,
