What people say about WAR
“Our experience and that of our colleagues at Two Garden Court chambers (the leading immigration and asylum chambers in the country) is that in a number of cases the reports provided in support of rape victims by WAR have been decisive in winning their cases and preventing their removal to countries of persecution. A report from WAR provided the foundation for the legal proposition that a traumatised rape victim may be unable to speak about her experiences for a considerable period which has in turn helped large numbers of asylum claimants whose late claim that they were raped would otherwise have been disbelieved. The physical, emotional and moral support WAR provides to victims is vital.”
Ian McDonald QC and 11 colleagues at Two Garden Court Chambers, 25 October 2002
"Women Against Rape is a dedicated and formidable campaigning team. When they take up an individual's cause, they help, support and fight for them from beginning to end."
Debaleena DasGupta, Fisher Meredith Solicitors, 18 September 2009
Distinguished playwright Kay Adshead led an open discussion after a performance at Amnesty in London of her play “The Bogus Woman”, her highly acclaimed play about a Nigerian woman seeking asylum in Britain. She called for “public support for WAR, a grassroots organisation short of funds but making a major impact.”
