10 th Anniversary On-line survey of over year olds in London: 56% said they would never try to pressure their partner into having sex with them 41% said they had been pressured into some sort of sex that they didn’t want
10 th Anniversary 92% of women (compared to 77% of men) said when a person says no to sex, and the other goes ahead regardless, that’s rape. 75% of women (compared to 54% of men) believe if you change your mind during sex, and the other person goes ahead, that’s rape.

10 th Anniversary Commissioned interactive film by Sara Dunlop Social networking sites used to seed film on internet aimed at year olds Boris Johnson, Mayor of London: “Young people clearly need to think much harder about consent. I hope this film will help prompt that debate and I’m grateful to the Havens for the vital and remarkable service they have delivered for the past ten years.”

Youtube comments Over 36,000 views on Youtube to date. Very hard hitting, hard to watch but absolutely necessary! No means NO and young men have to recognise the damage to not only the potential victim but to themselves by continuing when there has not been consent. Its about time this country started standing up for the victims of sexual assault and Rape in the same way they stand up for victims of other crime!
Youtube comments Everyone should see this, and everyone should talk to their mates/ colleagues/ kids about it. There's a shocking amount of people out there who still think that if a girl is drunk and wearing a short skirt, then she's asking for it. I absolutely don't buy into this myth that men have this strong inner urge that overpowers them, if men can't control themselves when they're drunk then don't drink, don't put the responsibility on the girl to not be attacked.
Youtube comments Great movie. Gets the message across
