- This Is Not An Invitation To Rape Me is a campaign that was launched on 16 October 2008.
CAMPAIGN WEBSITE - www.thisisnotaninvitationtorapeme.co.uk
Please check out the website to find out more about the campaign.
Rape Crisis Scotland wants to confront attitudes blaming women for rape in a very direct way, and invites members of the public in Scotland to join us in putting an end to these attitudes.
The campaign comprises a range of images (and supporting materials) that invite you to examine your own attitude to the situations presented, and enter the debate that we hope our campaign will generate.
Any horrible or disgusting comments will be deleted from the website and you will be reported to bebo.

Do you feel its a woman's fault she is raped if she was drunk, wore revealing clothes or flirted?
by
Faye Wilson
The whole idea of this campaign is a large portion of society blame the woman when she was raped by a man.1 Reply 172 weeks
In court, many rape victims have lost because the jury believed it was the woman's fault for being drunk, wearing revealing clothes, had numerous sexual partners in the past, flirted or was intimate with the guy or worse still was even married to him.
The aim of this campaign is to raise awareness within society that regardless of whether a woman portrayed any of the above, it doesn't give the man the right to rape her.
NO MEANS NO!
