About this listen
In the 1970s and 1980s, a generation of women dared to speak the unspeakable and demanded a better life for women. This episode follows the birth of the Rape Crisis movement in Britain. Founders, volunteers, and current staff reflect on the feminist ideals that drove these women — and the tension between activism and survival as they built a service from scratch, in the face of silence and stigma.
This series was made possible thanks to the voices and contributions of the women interviewed.
Produced by Riham Moussa, with the assistance of Mary Holditch.
Special thanks to Dr Ellie Whittingdale, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, Oxford; Anna Cole, Heritage Lead; and Kelly Bennaton, Communications and Marketing Lead at Rape Crisis England & Wales.
