Our Approach to Change 🌱
Narrative Change
Narrative change is a transformative process that dismantles existing attitudes towards rape and rape survivors. By challenging rape myths we switch public perception from doubt and dismissal to belief and support.
Policy Reform
Policy reform doesn’t happen in a vacuum — it’s driven by social change! When enough people recognize a problem and demand solutions, the law eventually follows. We support this process by reshaping public attitudes towards survivors.
Our Mission: That’s Still Rape challenges the myths that excuse, minimise, or erase rape. Through campaigns, digital media and resources we expose how everyday attitudes and traditions enable rape culture. Our work is about more than awareness — it’s about cultural change 🌎
How we work:
Publishing research
We conduct and publish research that exposes the true scale of UK rape culture. By gathering data on myths, justice outcomes and survivor experiences, we pinpoint exactly what must change. This research fuels our campaigns and informs policymakers. Read our research here.
Training institutions
We deliver survivor-centred training to universities, workplaces and public bodies that aims to make these spaces better and safer for survivors. We offer workshops covering:
-
How to respond to disclosures of sexual violence
-
Understanding and challenging rape myths
-
Bystander intervention
-
Preventing sexual harassment
You can explore our full range of training packages here.
Reforming policies
We advocate for policies that improve justice outcomes for survivors. This means challenging outdated laws and recommending survivor-centred reforms by:
-
Meeting and briefing MPs and policy makers
-
Participating in advisory panels across public institutions
-
Equipping universities and organisations with research
-
Supporting survivor-led groups in unions, student groups, and professional associations
-
Writing op-eds that exposure failures
-
Mobilising public support through email-writing campaigns and petitions
Why “That’s Still Rape”?
You might’ve heard people say things like, “If they didn’t fight back, it wasn’t rape,” or “It’s not rape if it’s your girlfriend.”
The name That’s Still Rape is a direct response to these myths. No matter the circumstance — if there was no consent, it’s still rape.
We fight rape myths with every post! Follow our digital campaigns @thatsstillrape
