Women Against Rape

Women Against Rape (WAR) is a grassroots multi-racial women’s group founded in 1976 and based at the Crossroads Women’s Centre in London. WAR provides rights information, support and advocacy. It campaigns for justice, protection and compensation for all women and girls who have suffered sexual, domestic and/or racist violence. This includes survivors of any age, race and nationality, asylum seekers, women with disabilities, trans women, sex workers. WAR have won changes in the law such as making rape in marriage a crime, and have set legal precedents such as the first private prosecution for rape alongside ECP, after the authorities refused to bring a rapist of two sex workers to court.
