The court decreed that there had been no violence or intimidation and therefore convicted the men of the lesser charge of sexual abuse. By this logic, a victim can\u2019t be raped unless she screams and fights back. Yet overwhelming evidence tells us that the majority of rape victims do not do this: they freeze. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2018\/apr\/26\/protests-spain-five-men-cleared-of-teenagers-gang-rape-pamplona\">Protesters chanted<\/a> \u201cThis justice is bullshit!\u201d after the verdict was read out.<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish demonstrations came on the heels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk-news\/2018\/mar\/29\/protests-in-belfast-and-dublin-after-rugby-players-acquittal\">fiery rallies in Ireland following the acquittal<\/a> of two rugby players on all charges of the rape and sexual assault of a 19-year-old Belfast student. The woman\u2019s underwear had been passed around the courtroom. She was on the stand for eight days, while the men, by comparison, testified for a half-day each. As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drcc.ie\/2018\/03\/drcc-statement-following-the-verdict-in-the-belfast-rugby-players-rape-trial\/\">official statement<\/a> of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre emphasized, while the men were represented by skilled, experienced Queen\u2019s counsel, the young woman was unrepresented.<\/p>\n<p>The men are not guilty, but the treatment of the complainant highlighted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/opinion\/editorial\/sexual-offences-a-system-in-need-of-change-1.3443529?mode=sample&amp;auth-failed=1&amp;pw-origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.irishtimes.com%2Fopinion%2Feditorial%2Fsexual-offences-a-system-in-need-of-change-1.3443529\">structural deficiencies<\/a> in the legal system. Within hours of the verdict in late March, #Ibelieveher was the top-trending hashtag in Ireland. In the wake of the trial, Ireland\u2019s minister for justice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishnews.com\/news\/2018\/04\/03\/news\/raft-of-changes-to-rape-trials-in-northern-ireland-have-been-stalled-by-the-collapse-of-devolution---former-justice-minist-1294323\/\">is reviewing<\/a> the legal protections offered to sexual assault complainants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Indian activists have also been on the march. A trial began on April 28 of seven Hindu men, including a retired government official and two serving police officers, and one boy accused of the <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/5255375\/kathua-india-rape-case-trial\/\">rape and murder<\/a> of an eight-year-old Muslim girl, Asifa Bano, in a town in Kashmir in January.

For example, in<a href=\"https:\/\/rapecrisis.org.uk\/statistics.php\"> England and Wales<\/a>, 85,000 women and 12,000 men are raped every year, only 15 percent report, and the conviction rate for those accused is 5.7 percent. This means that less than one percent of victims see their attacker brought to justice. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rainn.org\/statistics\">In the US<\/a>, 321,500 people are raped or sexually assaulted annually, and 99 percent of perpetrators get away with it.<\/p>\n<p>We now have the means \u2014 through social media and feminist figures in mainstream media \u2014 to disseminate women\u2019s experiences and rape statistics widely. And when you know the stories, when you know the stats, it\u2019s hard to shrug when yet another high-profile trial victimizes the accuser as a means to exonerate the accused. Now, the message is clear: we will push back.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Harding believes that changing the culture and legal system in the US is going to take a long time. There are significant challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn top of the fundamental legal problem of he said\/she said, you have the problem of the rape myths that the average citizen, police officer and prosecutor all probably subscribe to. And you\u2019ve got misogyny. And you\u2019ve got racism. So if there\u2019s a white man on the stand who looks as if he would have a bright future ahead of him if he doesn\u2019t go to prison, he\u2019s automatically got the benefit of the doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harding points to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2016\/jun\/02\/stanford-swimmer-sexual-assault-brock-allen-turner-palo-alto\">the case of Brock Turner<\/a>, a Stanford University student, who was released after serving half of a six-month jail sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman outside a fraternity house. Two other white men gave evidence that they had caught him in the act. When they stopped him he ran away, but they chased him down. There\u2019s no he said\/she said here. \u201cA prison sentence would have a severe impact on him \u2026 I think he will not be a danger to others,\u201d Judge Aaron Persky said of his sentencing decision.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64528\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64528\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/policyoptions.irpp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/19081379-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-64528\" src=\"https:\/\/policyoptions.irpp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/19081379-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-64528\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SAN FRANCISCO, CA \u2013 Activists from UltraViolet, a national women&#8217;s advocacy organization, deliver over one million signatures to the California Commission on Judicial Performance calling for the removal of Judge Aaron Persky from the bench, on June 10, 2016. (AP Photo\/Eric Risberg, file)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The obstacles to creating lasting change through the protests in India are also considerable. Kavita Krishnan, secretary of the All India Progressive Women\u2019s Association, told me that the current wave of protest in India is in part a response to the carefully calibrated attack on women\u2019s rights instigated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s government. Pointing out that many recent sexual attacks are not only rapes but also hate crimes, she praises the protests\u2019 clear critique of the political patronage of rape and the use of rape as a weapon of Islamophobic violence. But she adds that while these demonstrations are hopeful, there have also been open rallies in support of rapists, which frame the accusations as a secular plot to weaken a Hindu India.<\/p>\n<p>She is wise to what she calls the government\u2019s distraction tactics: \u201cThe minute there\u2019s a sharpening critique of patriarchy and of state patronage for rape culture, they try to distract from that by introducing draconian punishments. So they introduce the death penalty for rape, they introduce the death penalty for rape of minors. By introducing the death penalty the state doesn\u2019t have to spend a penny more \u2014 it doesn\u2019t have to create shelters, ensure that victims have counselling, ensure that there are rape kits available in hospitals or that proper procedures are being followed for the treatment and care of rape victims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone agrees that this is a moment of feminist promise. Joan Smith, co-chair of the Mayor of London\u2019s Violence Against Women and Girls Board, is on the front line of the fight against new forms of silencing and intimidation of rape victims in the UK. \u201cWe are in the middle of a crisis,\u201d she explained in an interview. \u201cThere was a change last year [2017] in the way in which disclosure was handled in rape cases, in criminal cases generally. The effect has been catastrophic. All 600 rape cases which were going through the process in London are suddenly on hold and women are withdrawing left, right and centre.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under the new rules, a complainant is required to give up her phone and her tablet, and to give access to her work computer, as well as to her medical records and school records. In short, there\u2019s an unprecedented invasion of the victim\u2019s privacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe police have to look at everything, including deleted material. So if you once sent a drunken text to a friend saying, \u2018I fancy a bit of rough tonight,\u2019 the police are obliged to hand it to the prosecution and they will probably hand it to the defence. It\u2019s quite hard to be optimistic.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64530\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64530\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/policyoptions.irpp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shutterstock_599458850-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-64530\" src=\"https:\/\/policyoptions.irpp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shutterstock_599458850-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"936\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-64530\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LONDON, UK \u2013 Protesters march in the Million Women Rise (MWR) rally, to bring awareness and an end to male violence against women and children, March 11, 2017. Shutterstock\/By John Gomez.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For Smith, while the defendant is, of course, entitled to a fair trial, the complainant is entitled to a private life. She explains that the law on disclosure was drawn up before anyone had a smartphone, before anyone could have imagined the kind of invasion of privacy that it would allow: \u201cSuddenly the defence barristers have realized that a vast amount of material is available about the complainant and they want access to it. The law offices and politicians seem to have agreed that that\u2019s a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s doesn\u2019t deny that the energy of #Metoo and global anti-rape protests is momentous, yet she says: \u201cThe story about rape, according to the popular press in this country, is that innocent men live in absolute terror of false accusations. And we know that\u2019s not true, that the vast majority of rapists actually get away with it, but that\u2019s the narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet Smith also has an excellent practical suggestion for how to take the current groundswell of anger and turn it into lasting change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has to become a political issue, which it really never has been. When people are out canvassing on doorsteps and asking for votes, they should be asked: \u2018What would you do about sexual violence? What would you do to help rape victims? Are you aware of the appallingly low conviction rate? If you\u2019re elected, will you take this up as an issue?\u2019 I think aspiring politicians and current politicians would be incredibly surprised if they were made to think about all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dropcap\">Why not surprise them? While protests and consciousness-raising campaigns challenge the rape myths and the sexism and racism that underpin much injustice, the energy of hashtags and protests can be turned into letters to local representatives and conversations on doorsteps.<\/p>\n<p>With political will, we can tackle the fundamental structural issues that lead to low levels of reporting and conviction. Our stories and the stories of our friends, the research and statistics that feminist organizations have been compiling for years \u2014 these make compelling evidence. We shouldn\u2019t underestimate the daunting challenges to radical reform, yet we shouldn\u2019t underestimate this moment either.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"image-caption\">Photo:\u00a0SRINGAR, India \u2013 Women hold signs during a rally in on April 17, 2018, to protest the rape and murder of 8-year-old Asifa Bano.
