Win a custom landscape-based painting worth £400 in support of The Survivors Trust charity Young artist Caitlin Eve Derrick is using her talent for painting to highlight the support available for victims of sexual violence
By Kellie Williams In March 2020, the Crime Survey for England and Wales released statistics stating an estimated 773,000 adults aged between 16 and 75 years were victims of sexual assault in the year March 2019 to March 2020. The latest ONS report states that there were almost four times as many female (618,000) victims than male (155,000). ‘Every five minutes in the UK someone is raped,’ states The Survivors Trust. A powerful statement that brings to light the increasingly heartbreaking statistics on sexual violence in the UK.
