This book is so important. It infuriated me and educated me (as someone who thought they were pretty on the ball, to be honest!)
Emily Hunt retells her rape story and her fight to have her rapist charged and held accountable. Peppered with statistics, it is an eye-opening read about how rape cases are dealt with and I honestly found it shocking.
From how Emily's case was treated by the Crown Prosection Service to how the police gathered information in those early stages, I felt so angry but hers isn't an isolated case.
Emily fought and fought and I kind of went into a Google rabbit hole. What a woman. She now is an expert advisor to the government on rape, even giving talks to police on how to respond to rape reports.
"Rape is not a women's issue. It is a human issue."
Everyone needs to read this.
