Self-swab kits only collect DNA evidence. A forensic medical examination at a SARC can collect much more, including evidence of injuries, clothing and other medical findings. For more information on self-swab kits, see: rapecrisis.org.uk/news/rcew-co...

If saying no has a consequence - like being dumped, threatened, medication or money withheld - then saying yes means nothing. That's not consent. #ItsNotOK #endVAWG #believesurvivors #sexualviolenceawarenessweek

#ItsNotOK to be forced, coerced, manipulated or tricked into any type of sexual contact. Sex without consent is rape. Consent is freely given, enthusiastic & a choice. #endVAWG #sexualviolenceawarenessweek #believesurvivors
