Ten babies are born every day in the UK as a result of rape. For too long, we have told ourselves that rape only happens in faraway countries, that it is a recent crime that arrives on boats. Before that, rapes only happened when a woman was dragged down an alley by a stranger, or when a vulnerable girl was targeted by a gang. No, rape is happening here and now, just as much as it always has. It is in our communities. It is happening to our women, by our men.
