A woman is attacked by her husband… In the next scene she prepares to take a bath while deleting messages from her cell phone… The man who attacked them appears to be free. And after…
(Beware of hard images)
This is a 5,5 minute video that will make you feel embarrassed to extremely uncomfortable. Because they summarize the real horror, pain, agony, fear that accompanies so many stories of rape and serious sexual assault.
This video was posted on the page maintains Leicestershire police on Facebook
and is the new way in which local prosecutors try to reach victims of rape and sexual assault who urge them not to hesitate to report the crime committed against them.
The video is accompanied by the following post:
"Are you a victim of rape? Please report it as soon as possible to help us retrieve evidence. Help us to help you. We and our partners will be extremely careful and will provide you with the necessary support throughout this "journey" as it unfolds.
"Rape is rape."
While the Hashtags follow #ALLisNotLost and #MeToo
The aim, of course, is not only to encourage rape victims to speak out and denounce the attacks they received, but also to inform them of how the authorities can really help, as the video emphasizes the importance of not destroying critical evidence by the victim. material that will help in the conviction of the perpetrator while relevant useful instructions are given. However, a very important, as well as unrecognized, truth is emphasized. The fact that too many times the perpetrator is a person that the victim knows.
The authorities do not hope that with this video, but also one that will follow and narrate what preceded the sexual assault of the same woman we saw in the first, will be able to increase the conviction rates of the perpetrators of such crimes.
It is noted that Al Is Not Lost is a campaign that has been running for a long time and another video has already been released, in which we see a woman remembering her own rape but also how her quick reflexes and her immediate complaint attack, contributed to his conviction and imprisonment for eight years.
"I was raped in my own house by someone I considered a friend," The woman appears to have said while in an interview with the BBC she had stated: "Before he even had time to leave his car from the street where I live, I had already called the police. "The first thing you want to do is go into the shower and rid yourself of anything that has to do with the person who attacked you, but when you do that you allow him to continue to be in control."
If you are a victim of sexual violence, you can call the 15900-hour SOS hotline at 24 for a local charge. The line is staffed by psychologists and social scientists who provide immediate assistance in emergencies and violence.
