'Violence against women' on Telegraph Blogs

This afternoon I was on Queen's Radio, the student station at Queen's University Belfast, discussing the problem of rape with senior officer Detective Superintendent Karen Baxter of the PSNI and Laura Mulholland of the Students' Union.

There have been a rash of rapes reported recently in the south Belfast area, where mosts students live, and fear levels have been running high.

I discuss the situation over at Telegraph Blogs, where I also reflect on the findings of our recently published survey of student attitudes to rape at Northern Ireland's other university, the University of Ulster.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
