Rape Crisis England & Wales

Valentines day adds immense pressure on people for many reasons. Proving your love, jealousy and contempt for those in relationships, the pressure to "be my valentine", the feeling of loneliness and depression. Domestic/sexual violence increases drastically during the valentines season. So I want each and everyone of you to remember that you are not alone and you do not owe anyone anything. Just because you go on a date with someone does not mean you owe them something in return. Just because they are your partner does not mean you need to prove your love to them. You are entitled to say NO! I also want to stress the importance of consent... Silence is NOT consent. Ignoring advances is NOT consent. It is ok to say NO to someone it does not matter if they are a stranger, a friend, family or your partner. NO MEANS NO. If at ANY point you are uncomfortable online please block/ban/report. If at ANY point you are uncomfortable in real life please seek support and report to the necessary people.

Hey, my name is Cayla Rodrigues (Indian, 18), a student at UWC Atlantic, Wales.

I will be shaving my head, like I did last year, to raise awareness and funds for Rape Crisis England & Wales, an organisation dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual violence and advocating for their justice.

By choosing Rape Crisis England and Wales, I want to highlight that sexual violence is not a third world country problem. Public outrage worlwide similar cycles: shock, grief, anger, headlines, promises of reform and then exhaustion. Names trend, vigils are held, statements are issued but eventually attention drifts elsewhere. From Nirbhaya in India to Sarah Everard in the UK and maybe even the Epstein files in the US, they are treated as independant tragedies instead of symptoms of systemic failure. Different countries means different contexts, but they have the same fundamental logic: control over bodies, silencing of survivors, and institutions prioritising their own protection and betterment over accountability

This is experienced by people worldwide, it is humiliating, degrading and a severe breach of their Human Rights(among other things). By shaving my head, I’m taking a stand in solidarity with survivors of sexual violence, using this as a call to action. I want to honour the courage and resilience of those affected, while raising funds to help them access the support and justice they deserve.

Hello! My name is Talia smith and eight years ago yesterday, I was raped. It’s something I never thought I’d survive, but with time, strength, and the support of incredible charities like Rape Crisis, I’ve slowly learned to heal and find my voice again. Their help and my families support has been life-changing, and I truly don’t know where I’d be without the support they gave me when I felt most broken. To honour how far I’ve come and to give back to others who are still on their journey, I’ll be doing the Dubai Skydive in aid of Rape Crisis. This is more than just a jump for me—it’s a symbol of taking my life back, of courage, and of hope. Every donation will go towards helping other survivors get the care, love, and strength they need to move forward. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me and helping me help others.

The Boiler, a tale of date rape, was the first song I ever wrote in the first band I was ever in. It was also the only original song from my first ever live performance in a band. It was important then and remains so. I was 20 back then and now, at 66, I'm going to collect my state pension. Finally. People were incredibly kind this year when I needed financial help to tour. This is my way of marking being lucky enough to grow old and hoping to give back to the society that has raised me.

I have recently come to terms with being a victim of sexual assault and rape. Through my journey of healing and acceptance i have found the power to take back my autonomy. To signify my courage and freedom i will be walking the Isle of Wight coastal path. This will be a personal pilgrimage to mark the closing of a chapter in my life. Coming to terms with this has opened my eyes to how prevalent this issue is and I have a surge of passion and a feeling of duty to do my bit for every women who hasn't had the opportunity to speak up. I plan to embark on this journey at the end of July.

From the moment someone reports sexual violence, it takes an average of 3 years in the UK to reach a point of sentencing — if it even gets that far. The wait is long, painful, and often retraumatising for survivors.

This July and August I’m pledging to run 300 miles — to represent those 3 years and raise awareness about the urgent need for change in how the justice system handles sexual violence.

I will be updating the miles I have ran every week.

I’m aiming to raise £300 for Rape Crisis UK, who provide vital, trauma-informed support to survivors at every stage of their journey — whether or not they choose to report.

If you can donate, share, or simply spread the word, you’ll be helping create a world where survivors are heard, believed, and supported.

I'm raising money in aid of Rape Crisis England & Wales by running the Manchester Marathon. Understanding the deep and lasting impact such an experience can have, I hope with a passion to create a world, where those affected can feel heard, supported and empowered.

Hi, I’m Liv, and I’m running the Richmond Half Marathon in June to raise money for Rape Crisis. Rape Crisis is an incredible charity that provides essential support for survivors of sexual assault and rape, offering a 24/7 helpline, specialist counseling, and advocacy to help people rebuild their lives. They also work to challenge harmful myths, educate communities, and campaign for better services and justice for survivors.

Recently, I experienced sexual assault, and it made me realize how difficult it truly is to speak up. I don’t want anyone else in that position. Initially I blamed myself and felt unable to talk about it, only to later learn that two of my friends had also been through similar experiences. Too many others stay silent out of fear, shame, or self-blame, and that needs to change.

By running this race, I want to help break the silence, raise awareness, and support a charity that gives survivors the help they deserve. Any donation, no matter how small, will go toward providing life-changing support for those who need it most.
