We’ll take you through highlights from 50 years of organising and what was won. And we’ll celebrate together, our archives going into the Bishopsgate Library.
WAR’s archives will be available to look at during the event.
Please note: you need to book a ticket to attend this event. They are £15 full price and £11 concessions.
If you can’t afford this and really want to go, please contact us.
Women Against Rape is a grassroots multi-racial women’s group founded in 1976 and based at the Crossroads Women’s Centre in London.
We provide rights information, support and advocacy. We take up individual cases on the basis of collective self-help. We campaign for justice, protection and compensation for all women and girls who have suffered sexual, domestic and/or racist violence. This includes survivors of any age, race and nationality, asylum seekers, women with disabilities, trans women, sex workers. We are part of Support Not Separation, working with mothers who have suffered domestic violence to stop the State taking their children into “care”.
We have won changes in the law such as making rape in marriage a crime. We have set legal precedents such as the first private prosecution for rape, after the authorities refused to bring a rapist of two sex workers to court.
Mark with us five decades of pathbreaking antisexist, antiracist work with survivors of rape, domestic violence and child abuse.
Our main funding came to an end this Autumn. Donations are much needed. We also welcome any fundraising suggestions.
