Find out more on the Rape Crisis Tyneside and Northumberland website. 

On the 15^th May, the Justice Committee heard evidence from Rape Crisis England & Wales regarding the disclosure of evidence in criminal cases and its damaging impact on rape trials. Watch the full evidence session. Rape Crisis England & Wales (RCEW) says: “Survivors are told that it doesn’t matter if they have nothing “to hide”. But there is a violation in the very act of asking for access to things that don’t feel relevant to a sexual offence you have chosen to report.
