How does Enough prevent rape?

Young survivors will name a large proportion of rapists to Enough’s platform, creating a real risk of conviction for rapists

In just 6 months at Bristol University over 200 rapists were reported. Our social media communicated those reports over 25 million times. 90% of Bristol students were aware of that and 70% said it prevented rape.

50% of Bristol undergraduate women chose to take and keep a DNA kit, for them to use quickly and easily if ever they need. They were used to collect perpetrator DNA on the very first day. That DNA is now being stored, free for the survivor to share with the police for the next 20 years

There are possibly about 200 repeat rapists at an average University. 85% are known to the survivor and can be named on Day 1. Because we expect 75% of survivors to report to Enough this means that more than 50% of all repeat rapists can be named by two survivors within 2 years.

When two people accuse the same perpetrator at trial, 90% are convicted. 70% with DNA at trial. Enough is a game changer.

Because of this Enough is in discussion with multiple police forces and it is possible that we will shortly start sending anonymous reports naming rapists immediately and directly to the police as intelligence. The police already have many rapists on their radar, but not yet enough evidence to make an arrest. Our intelligence could be the missing piece they need.

Enough’s presence via its highly visible ambassador teams, its events, its enormous presence on social media, and the presence of thousands of kits helps start widespread conversations on the importance of consent, the devastating impact of trauma, and the shamefulness of perpetrator behaviour

Enough has started to encourage and normalize the reporting and discussing of rapes by survivors. As this taboo is broken and survivors start receiving the care and support they deserve, even more survivors will choose to report

Enough has the power to help end rape
