TV advert to tackle rape 'myths' (BBC Scotland).

Excerpts from the article:

It found that 23% of people thought a woman was partly responsible for a rape if she was drunk at the time of the attack.

A total of 17% thought the woman bore some responsibility if she was wearing revealing clothing.

[...]

Scottish actress Laura Fraser, who has backed the campaign, said: "Changing these women-blaming attitudes is a solid starting point for making women safer in Scotland."

I can believe those statistics. Cheers to you, Rape Crisis Scotland. Here's to some positive change.
