Sources: ONS police reported rapes (2024/5) 71,540 (England and Wales), 2,897 in Scotland (Scottish gov), 1,218 in N. Ireland (PSNI); % of rapes and sexual assaults reported to police (2020-24) 14.7% (England & Wales); 22% Scotland (Scot crime survey 2019-20), est 14.9% in N. Ireland (Enough). Convictions (2024-25) MoJ Eng & Wales, Scottish gov (2023-24), PPS N. Ireland Enough is a revolutionary form of reporting that gives power to survivors and deters perpetrators. We want to help create a world without rape Donate Now If every survivor reported, named their perpetrator, and perhaps collected a DNA sample; and if every rapist knew that; we could end rape Enough is a revolutionary non profit*, creating extraordinary impact through a viral social movement at incredibly low cost We give survivors a simple, easy way to report and create the real deterrence they want; and easy, free, access to support that works Enough believes that the system should change for survivors, not the other way around. Enough is informed by advice, experience, and evidence from the leading experts worldwide. Enough is a social enterprise funded by people and organisations who care and are committed to ending rape. *Enough does not make or distribute profits Our Team: Katie White, Co-Founder katie@myenough.com Katie’s motivation comes from being a close friend to several survivors, and from witnessing the lack of meaningful options available to them — and the wider societal acceptance of sexual violence. Before launching Enough with Tom, Katie started her career in brand strategy at Lippincott and M&C Saatchi, helping shape some of the world’s leading brands and campaigns. Alongside this work, she founded the Cliteracy Crusade, a movement to advance gender equality through literacy of the clitoris. Tom Allchurch, Co-Founder tom@myenough.com Tom is the father of a survivor and has been working on sexual violence prevention on multiple projects with leading experts in the UK, US, and around the world for 10 years. He is an entrepreneur with a background in consumer and Tech, working in senior roles with companies like Unilever, Amazon, and Hello Fresh. He co founded Talk Consent the leading consent and sex education provider in the UK. He works full time on Enough, unpaid. Dr Maisie Johnstone, Clinical Lead clinicallead@myenough.com Maisie is a Counselling Psychologist whose doctoral thesis explored sexuality following rape. She has worked across both public and private sectors, including Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs), secure services and NHS acute mental health settings. Her clinical and research work focuses on the psychological impact of sexual violence and trauma, and on developing accessible, evidence-informed approaches to recovery. At Enough, she leads research and development of digitally enabled approaches to reporting and recovery, combining clinical effectiveness with user engagement, accessibility and safety.

Reporting helps stop rapists doing it again There are 3 reporting options: Report to the Police. They will possibly refer you to a SARC for a full forensic examination Go to a SARC to get a complete forensic examination, immediate 24 hr in person care for all your needs, and advice Report with Enough. Self-test simply and discreetly and write a time-stamped testimony. Create deterrence and decide later if you want to report further. Enough reporting chatbot Should I report to the Police? The police themselves say this is a personal decision* It can help emotionally as part of the recovery process. Where rape or sexual assault happened in a relationship, as part of a pattern of domestic abuse, reporting can help end the relationship and escape the violence. It could be the first step on the road to a guilty verdict in court. It can help them solve other cases and stop the attacker assaulting someone else. *www.police.uk As the police themselves say, it is totally normal to be very unsure about reporting rape or sexual assault to the police, and about 85% choose not to. It is a survivor’s right to report what happened to them when and to whom they choose. Should I go to a SARC? Go to a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) to get immediate 24hr care for all your needs, a complete forensic examination, and advice on next steps. A complete forensic examination will ensure that the most evidence is professionally collected and has the best likelihood of being relevant and admissible, helping achieve an eventual prosecution in a wider range of criminal prosecutions. The manner in which any evidential sample is retrieved, analysed and stored could well be the subject of challenge in a criminal trial. Anyone involved in that process, including survivors using Enough, could be questioned and challenged about that in court. There are no guarantees that evidence relating to a DNA sample will be deemed admissible at trial. Each case will depend on its own circumstances. The SARC is independent and can help you decide next steps without any pressure to report to the police Enough reporting chatbot Should I report with enough? Enough provides an alternative for survivors to deter offenders from engaging in sexual assaults, and support them through their recovery. Enough is quick, easy, and totally private You can share the aim of creating real deterrence and encouraging other survivors to do the same It is 100% legal to report to Enough. You hold the power to decide exactly what you want to do, and when. No-one else. An Enough report can have 3 parts: An anonymous statement published to thousands on our website and in social media, telling the world what you want (with no names or details capable of identifying the offender) A private record (optional) eg: who, what, where, when; encrypted in a private account for your eyes only. This is saved and time stamped. You can download it any time you want and take it to the police in the future. This can create powerful deterrence. Self collect a DNA sample from your own body (optional). Get it analysed at our lab within 48 hours. The result is saved to your encrypted account, and half the sample is frozen at the lab for 20 years. You can allow police access to it if you ever want to. This could create powerful deterrence. Students in Bristol are choosing to report to Enough hundreds of times more often than they are to their University; and about 6x more often than they are to the Police. Enough reporting chatbot Is Enough evidence admissible in Court?* In principle, yes, Enough’s evidence can be admissible in court Enough is very new and only a relatively small number of kits have been distributed, so there has not been sufficient time for a first test case. However, Enough kits are successfully being used to collect perpetrator DNA by survivors, and have been passed to the police as part of an investigation The National Police Chiefs Council have instructed the police to use Enough’s evidence where available, and to not discourage anyone from reporting with it DNA collected from forensic examinations by the police or a SARC has the best evidentiary value. And clothing and tampons have also been admitted. DNA evidence from any source (including the police/SARC) is only relevant where the accused denies physical contact, a minority of cases. This is because DNA does not show consent. There is no type of DNA evidence that is always guaranteed admissible in court, but any evidence can be of value and admissible, including Enough. Enough’s forensic grade DNA kit was developed, and is produced by, the same people that develop and produce kits for the British police For Enough’s evidence specifically, it will be considered for admission if the survivor will testify that the DNA sample was correctly collected following the instructions to avoid contamination. The judge will decide whether it will be admitted. *Full legal opinion by a leading KC Rape Barrister, see here. --- # Is Enough evidence admissible in court? https://myenough.com/admissibility Is Enough evidence admissible in Court?* *Advice from King’s Counsel with experience in the admission of DNA evidence and the prosecution of serious sexual assaults Few cases ever reach court (about 3% of complaints). Of those, the fact of contact with a particular individual and the location where contact occurred are very often not disputed; it follows that DNA evidence recovered using the Enough method is only likely to be considered to be potentially relevant in a limited number of cases. The methods used by medical professionals at SARCs mean that DNA and other samples recovered during those processes provide more information and are therefore more likely to be relevant and rendered admissible in a wider range of criminal prosecutions. The manner in which any evidential sample is retrieved, analysed and stored could well be the subject of challenge in a criminal trial. Anyone involved in that process, including survivors using Enough, could be questioned and challenged about that in court if the prosecution choose to attempt to rely on the sample; whether they attempt to do so is a matter solely for the prosecuting lawyers. In any event, there are no guarantees that evidence relating to a DNA sample will be deemed admissible at trial. Each case will depend on its own circumstances. If the fact of contact by a particular individual is in dispute, it is conceivable that DNA evidence gathered using Enough could be deployed by the prosecution and deemed relevant and admissible by the court in a limited range of cases. In the first instance, the court would have to be satisfied, by the survivor’s own testimony, that the sample retrieved is genuine, free from contamination and has been collected and (whilst in their custody) retained in accordance with the instructions provided with our packs. The court would also expect to receive other evidence in order to establish the reliability of the sample. In circumstances where this can be established, the court would still be obliged to consider whether any resulting DNA evidence is relevant to the issues in the case and ultimately whether its admission into evidence is fair to the parties before allowing any party to rely upon it. Forensic evidence retrieved by medical professionals and criminal investigators is expected to be handled in line with strict forensic guidelines. This enhances the prospects of admissibility and maximises the potency of such evidence. Whilst objections to such evidence are rare, it does not insulate DNA evidence gathered in this way from challenge or guarantee its admissibility. Survivors can anticipate that samples retrieved using Enough are likely to be subjected to challenge even if the prosecution choose to rely upon them and whether or not they are admitted into evidence at trial. It is also possible that the defence may seek to rely on the samples if, for example, DNA from a third party which could exculpate the defendant is identified. In order to maximise the potential admissibility of DNA evidence gathered using Enough, our DNA kit was developed, and is produced by, the same people that develop and produce DNA kits for the British police. Enough has obtained this advice from King’s Counsel with experience in the admission of DNA evidence and the prosecution of serious sexual assaults in providing this aspect of the guidance. 15.3.25 --- # Admissibility of Enough evidence: summary https://myenough.com/admissibility-summary Is Enough evidence admissible in Court?* In principle, yes, Enough's evidence can be admissible in court Enough is very new and only a relatively small number of kits have been distributed, so there has not been sufficient time for a first test case.

Urgent test Only to use now and send to lab immediately Delivered by 1pm tomorrow if ordered by 2pm today Get urgent kit UK only In Case kit If you’d like a kit just in case Funded by donors Request a kit UK only Donate Kits Pay it forward for students and survivors   What is an urgent test for? Please only order a kit if you need to use one immediately and will send it to the lab straightaway. We have limited kits. When will I receive an “in case” kit? We will send them as soon as we have received donations to cover the costs from people that want to pay it forward. Why should I donate and pay it forward? Our research shows that young people believe that Enough prevents rape. Our reporting platform allows survivors to name perpetrators, and if they wish, collect DNA. That creates real deterrence for rapists. The more rapes reported to the platform, and the more that have and use kits to collect DNA, the more the deterrence. 85% of survivors can name their perpetrator. When they are all named, they will begin to stop. If you agree and believe this is true, please donate kits. £20 for 1, £100 for 5. Who does the testing? Our partner is a leading government accredited lab. How long do the results take to come? About 1 working week after posting. What happens to my sample after testing? We freeze half the sample before testing. This means it can be passed on to the police (if you ever want to). After testing the other half, we keep both for 20 years unless you tell us otherwise. How will I get the results? We’ll send you an email to tell you when your results are available on your account. Who can see the results? The results belong to you and no one else. What do my results mean? The test results will show how many different DNA profiles have been detected, and what gender they are. If so, we will inform you of that and when that test is complete If only one DNA profile is found on my sample, does that mean nothing happened? No. There are many reasons why a sample may not show a second profile. Over time, DNA naturally degrades, and can be weaker if a form of protection was used. The absence of a secondary profile cannot be assumed to be evidence that nothing happened. --- # How to use an Enough kit https://myenough.com/howto Quick Discreet Simple We’ve put together this quick guide to help you take your sample and clarify any questions you might have. It’s worth having a look at our website and FAQs - there’s lots more helpful info on there. What is this? A DNA kit for you to use discreetly and quickly. Results that belong to you and no one else. The first step in your recovery. This kit is for all genders and can be used after showering. What’s the water for? It’s important for the swab to be damp (so it can pick up dried evidence.) But please make sure it is damp, not dripping! The best way to do this is to squeeze a couple of drops on to the swab. What do I do? 1. Unseal the swab (not before) 2. Read the options for where to use the swab. If several apply, go for the first (they are ordered by likely quality of DNA.) 3. Put it back in the envelope and send it via the post office. If you can’t straightaway, put it in the fridge until you can. The freepost label takes it straight to the lab. Where can it be used? You can take a sample from: Vagina, anus, vulva, mouth, skin (see next pages for detail.) The best results are from liquid e.g. sperm/saliva, even if now dry. We’ve ordered these by strongest likely DNA presence, but you should test wherever is most comfortable, as long as their skin came into contact with yours. Before you start, please read the full guide. We promise it won’t take long. Wash your hands and set yourself up somewhere comfy with your phone or mirror angled so you can see what you’re doing clearly. Vagina (internal) Test within: 7 days, ideally 48h. Appropriate for: penetrative sex (either penis or other body part). Even if there was a condom or no ejaculation, this is the best place to take the sample. Insert swab 3-5cm inside vagina. Gently rotate and try to avoid vaginal wall on entry/exit. Vulva (external) Test within: 7 days, ideally 48h. Appropriate for: no penetration Roll one swab over the vulva and perineum. Anus Test within: 3 days. Appropriate for: anal penetrative sex (either penis or other body part), even if a condom was used. With a little bit of pressure, roll the swab in a circle over the perianal skin, 3cm from the anus. Mouth Test within: 2 days Appropriate for: oral sex (either penis or other body part), even if a condom was used. With a little bit of pressure, roll the swab over the outer (darker) part of the lips, including where the lips meet. Skin Test within: 2 days Appropriate for: prolonged skin to skin contact e.g. persistent rubbing Roll a swab over the skin area with some pressure. Focus area might include breasts (especially mouth contact), pubic bone, inner thigh, groin crease, buttocks, penis and scrotum What’s next? You’ll be informed of the number of DNA profiles (people) present on your sample via your online account. If you have anything else to keep (e.g. clothes), put them in a clean bag and write the date on. Try to put what happened into words. You only need to do it once, and the best time is now. Report You’ve already taken a huge first step in your recovery by acknowledging what happened. Have a look at our recovery resources to continue that journey. Recovery --- # Understanding your DNA results https://myenough.com/understanding-results What do the results mean? We try to confirm the number and gender of DNA samples found in or on your body. A ‘DNA profile’ refers to a person. If the results do not show the number of people or gender that you expected, it does not mean that someone else wasn’t there, it just means it didn’t show up with our swab, with the tests that we run. If the results are different from what I expected why might that be? Whether you find someone else's DNA in your sample can be affected by a variety of factors. These are the use of a condom, whether ejaculation occurred, whether you have bathed/showered, time elapsed since contact. The probability of finding another DNA profile varies with these factors and is best within 3 days of contact. Is it possible that another DNA profile is present on the swab but wasn’t detected by your tests? Yes it is possible. Enough routinely runs the tests that will most likely detect other DNA profiles. However the police have access to even more sensitive testing options, and they could run those tests on the part of the sample that we store for you. What happens now? Whatever you want. We will freeze half of the sample (untested) in case you want to report to the police later. If you’re considering reporting to the police, take your time, consider speaking to an ISVA at a Sexual Assault Referral Centre. --- # Report rape or sexual assault with Enough https://myenough.com/report Report to help deter and stop rape Option 1: Report to the police Option 2: Report to a SARC Option 3: Report with Enough Learn more about my reporting options A message for the world ​ Here’s some examples... “Coercion is rape.

We are collaborating with clinicians from a range of disciplines to best support survivors Contact katie@myenough.com Our resources have been created by an outstanding professional clinician, informed by the highest therapeutic principles. We are not a clinical service, our resources are designed to provided additional support depending on what works for you. Dr Maisie Johnstone Our Clinical Approach --- # Therapy and clinical support https://myenough.com/therapy If you’d like to understand more about therapy We have a dedicated video that explains more about therapy. We recommend watching this as a first step. We’ve also laid out the options below: Funded Therapy (free for you) You can access NHS funded therapy by visiting your GP who can make a referral to local services in your area. Your GP may feel you require a referral to a mental health team who can offer more in-depth assessment and support. If you do not feel comfortable speaking to your GP you can self-refer into 'Let’s Talk' which is an NHS funded psychological therapy service. Relate is a psychotherapy service and operates in most areas. They accept self-referrals and referrals from the GP. They also specialise in relationship and psychosexual therapy if this is something that you require support with particularly. They offer both free and funded sessions but operate on a sliding scale. This means that you can donate what you can afford. There are a few things to consider with funded therapy such as long waiting lists and limited session numbers, but be assured that if you are in crisis you can access support from the crisis teams. Further your clinician will assess if you require further support than what they are able to offer and will ensure you are signposted to the relevant service. Private Therapy (you’ll need to pay) You can access private therapy from a variety of sources, it can be a little overwhelming as there are so many choices and you might not always know what you are looking for. We would recommend looking through the Counselling Directory: www.counselling-directory.org.uk Some key things to consider: Ensure you are searching for an accredited counsellor or therapist (this will be included in their qualifications & title, memberships include NCPS, BACP, HCPC, CORST) Ask if the professional if they will offer a short free consultation to see if they feel like a good match for you Ensure they can offer trauma therapies such as EMDR, Trauma Focussed CBT and Narrative Exposure Therapy If you’re already accessing therapy If you are currently under any mental health team, or therapy service we would advise consulting with your professionals before engaging with our resources. We want these videos to be as supportive and empowering as possible, but your safety and wellbeing is priority. They have been designed so they can be accessed at any time, this means you can dip in and out of our resources at a time and pace that feels right for you. --- # In crisis?

Your comments on our videos and within our community can be a valuable part of building a compassionate recovery for others as well as yourself. --- # For friends, family and allies of survivors https://myenough.com/allies You’re likely reading this because something awful has happened to someone very close to you. It can be really hard for them to talk about what happened – they might be worried about how much you already know and what they will have to explain, they might fear a negative reaction, and they may not want you to associate what happened to them with them. Understandably, survivors often just want to forget and move on with their lives. Telling someone is an important step in moving forwards, but can feel like turning a nightmare into a reality. Your reaction is incredibly important – it means more because of your closeness, and it will be the start of rebuilding trust that has likely been shattered by this experience. This conversation is never going to be easy, but we hope the following steps mean you can navigate it in a more informed and compassionate way. Understand the reality of rape One of the most important things to do is to know what they are talking about, and understand the complexities they face. It is never as simple as ‘it happened, so I should report to the police.’ We’ve outlined what you should know about rape below. Create space for the conversation This could be the most awful thing that has ever happened to them. Respect the importance of this conversation by giving it the privacy and time it needs. In that moment, nothing else matters. Affirm what they have been through Don’t jump to conclusions or actions – that can come later. You simply need to affirm and bear witness to what they have been through. It may be hard for them to acknowledge, but affirming that this was not their fault is a powerful and vital message. Limit your questions They will share what they want to. If you do need to ask a question, only do it when they are truly finished speaking, consider the phrasing (so as not to imply doubt) and make it clear they don’t need to answer. Think whether the question is helpful for them or because of your own curiosity. Don’t assume a role Try to separate the structure and hierarchy of your relationship with them from what they are telling you and ask how they want you to be involved instead of assuming based on your relationship and previous situations. Don’t try to solve it now Prepare for your life to be disrupted a bit. See this a bit like a natural disaster – buildings can be knocked down in an instant, and take years to rebuild. This is a journey and it will be a more restorative one through your involvement, but is definitely not one to rush. You are listening to hear rather than listening to solve or advise. A non- judgmental ear can be a pivotal part of their recovery. This is going to upset you, but it’s not about you. Try not to project your emotions about what happened. Your role is to help them come to a realistic judgment of what happened. Think of yourself as their echo. It’s their decision, their voice. You are amplifying their voice, supporting them so they aren’t alone. You are never shouting anything yourself. What the world leads us to believe about rape (spoiler: all are false). Recovery takes place in the context of societal scripts - culture, workplace, education, family and friends. Today, these scripts are false and often put the burden of shame on survivors, instead of empowering them in their recovery. A more informed and compassionate society means we can challenge these myths, and be better allies. Myth Reality It’s the survivor’s fault. Everyone has the right to wear whatever they want and behave however they want without asking for rape or sexual violence. False accusations are common. A man is 230x more likely to be raped himself than falsely accused, and it is far more common for survivors to not report (83%) than for people to falsely accuse. (Independent, 2019) If it happened, then they would have reported straight away. It can take a long time to come to terms with what happened, and disclosing is a huge decision. Reporting is not to be taken lightly and rarely leads to the justice they want and deserve. It happens in a dark alley way. 86% rapes are by someone that the survivor knows. (Rape Crisis, 2024) If they didn’t run away, they wanted it to happen It’s incredibly common to freeze or not be able to speak – it’s how the body reacts to an abnormal and traumatic situation. Watch Why did I? to learn more. For parents... Don’t assume the role of rescuer. It’s all you might want to do, but it takes away their agency Try to listen from outside the structure of the relationship you have with them. There are implicit hierarchies and power dynamics at play which aren’t necessarily productive in this situation. For friends... You may well have friends who have been through something similar – don’t try to relate those experiences. There will be more nuance and difference than you expect and it may mean the survivor feels unheard. If they ask you to share, that’s completely different You may know the perpetrator, but this conversation isn’t about your relationship with them - it’s something that you can process privately away from the survivor Don’t be offended if they didn’t initially tell you For partners... You may feel angry that this happened, or guilt that it did. They weren’t responsible for what happened, and neither were you. Managing your anger or guilt is another emotional burden that the survivor does not need on their plate. The nature of your relationship may well change, but it can get back to where it was. You can play a really important role in rebuilding the trust and intimacy that has been shattered. For siblings... They are still your brother or sister, and want to be seen in that way. What happened to them hasn’t defined them. One of the most impactful things you can do is show them that you continue to see them in that way, while also making space to speak about it if and when they want to. Speak to your parents about this as much as you need to --- # Frequently asked questions https://myenough.com/faqs Police Should I report to the police and enough? The aim of Enough is deterrence not immediate criminal justice. If you want to report to the police or a SARC, you should go there first and get a full forensic examination. You can report with enough afterwards, and access our recovery content. If you report and self-test with Enough, you can pass the information onto the police later (including a frozen portion of DNA) for them to use in your case. Will Enough DNA results be admissible in court? Yes, it can be. DNA evidence is only relevant, and will only be submitted to a court, if contact with a particular individual and location are disputed If the survivor will testify that the DNA sample was correctly collected following the instructions to avoid contamination; then an Enough DNA sample can be admissible* Not even police DNA is absolutely 100% guaranteed admissible in court, neither is an Enough sample. Enough’s DNA kit was developed, and is produced by, the same people that develop and produce kits for the British police Just like the police or a SARC, it can be, but ultimately the judge will decide. Will the police take my results seriously? The police know that most survivors are not reporting to them. The police will consider any relevant information for a case. What about false allegations? Perpetrators names are not publicized by enough. They are private to the survivor, and no allegation can be made through the platform False allegations are rare, less than 1% of rapes. A man is 10 times more likely to be raped than falsely accused. Enough Is enough about making money? No. Enough is not for profit. We put all money made back into increasing access of kits to students and survivors. Why is Enough selling kits? Many people across the UK have requested kits. £20 is the lowest price we can provide them for to also cover the cost of lab testing. Are enough kits available outside the UK? Our kits are only currently available in the UK. What is the kit? A DNA swab, a water vial and instructions, for you to use discreetly and quickly A visible deterrent to perpetrators to prevent rape A symbol of a world without sexual violence I ordered a kit online. When will it arrive? Kits ordered before 2.00pm Mon-Fri will be posted first class on the same day, usually arriving the next day (Tuesdays to Saturdays). Where can I use the kit? You can take a sample from: Vagina, anus, vulva, mouth, skin. The best results are from liquid e.g. sperm/saliva, even if now dry. Is the kit for all genders? Yes. The kit is for all genders. Our kit instructions explain how to use the swab in different areas. How long do the kits last? You should get a new one every 4 years. There’s an expiry date on the outside of the swab. What does it detect? It shows the presence of someone else’s DNA in or on your body. It picks up semen, saliva or persistent touch (sweat). It works even with a condom because of persistent touch. What if I’ve showered? You can still use it. Some samples can be taken up to 7 days after. Read the user guide for more info. Where should I keep the kit before I use it? Anywhere that will be room temp or below (max 22°C.) How is this different to what exists today? DNA testing for rape is currently only possible at the police or a sexual assault referral centre (SARC). The examination is far more extensive and is stronger forensically, but we exist because many want a way of testing at home simply and discreetly. My test results haven’t come yet? Make a note of the date you posted it. If you have not heard back within 5 working days please email tom@myenough.com. Kit testing What is an urgent test for? Please only order a kit if you need to use one immediately and will send it to the lab straightaway. We have limited kits. When will I receive an “in case” kit? We will send them as soon as we have received donations to cover the costs from people that want to pay it forward. Why should I donate and pay it forward? Our research shows that young people believe that Enough prevents rape. Our reporting platform allows survivors to name perpetrators, and if they wish, collect DNA. That creates real deterrence for rapists. The more rapes reported to the platform, and the more that have and use kits to collect DNA, the more the deterrence. 85% of survivors can name their perpetrator. When they are all named, they will begin to stop. If you agree and believe this is true, please donate kits. £20 for 1, £100 for 5. Who does the testing? Our partner is a leading government accredited lab. How long do the results take to come? About 1 working week after posting. What happens to my sample after testing? We freeze half the sample before testing. This means it can be passed on to the police (if you ever want to). After testing the other half, we keep both for 20 years unless you tell us otherwise. How will I get the results? We’ll send you an email to tell you when your results are available on your account. Who can see the results? The results belong to you and no one else. What do my results mean? The test results will show how many different DNA profiles have been detected, and what gender they are. If so, we will inform you of that and when that test is complete If only one DNA profile is found on my sample, does that mean nothing happened? No. There are many reasons why a sample may not show a second profile. Over time, DNA naturally degrades, and can be weaker if a form of protection was used. The absence of a secondary profile cannot be assumed to be evidence that nothing happened. Reporting How can I write an anonymous statement? Via the report page of our website Why do you publish every anonymous statement? To help create prevention and deterrence. We verify every single one before posting. We do not allow any names or swear words. Where do you publish the statements? On our website, Instagram and TikTok Recovery What does recovery involve? Enough provides therapy style videos on YouTube, Instagram, and Tik Tok, an online community/forum, and guides for friends and family. They are free. Does enough have a therapist? We have a Clinical Lead, Dr Maisie. She creates the videos, manages the community and runs livestreams but she does not do 1 on 1 sessions. Our recovery services are free of charge and that can’t extend to 1 on 1 conversations. We have information on other places where you can get that support on our website. Can I be an ambassador? Yes, via the application form in our instagram bio.

There’s something incredibly powerful about recognising what happened and finding words for your feelings. You aren’t responsible for what happened to you, but you can be responsible for your recovery (and make it stronger in doing so!). That doesn’t mean you’re alone - far from it. It just means that you are in control. You’re at the centre of your recovery and you decide what’s enough for you. Tell us what you need - and we’ll try our best to create it. It’s hard enough going through it yourself, let alone having to educate everyone who you want to support you. It might be really scary for the people you love, they might say the wrong thing and despite their intentions they may not know how to best support you. It might feel impossible for you to find the right moment to tell them. We’ve created conversation tools, background info, and ongoing guides so that you and those you love you have a safe space to navigate this conversation. Recovery starts with you, but it takes place in the context of compassionate and safe relationships. This doesn’t mean you need to tell your friends and family, you might feel more comfortable telling someone you don’t know who’s been through the same thing. In some ways, you can only truly empathise and understand if you’ve been through it too, but it can feel impossible to find these people - unsurprisingly, they try to bury it. We’ve created a safe online community where you can meet others who can bear witness and affirm what you’ve been through. If you feel ready and you are able to we have created a video explaining what to expect from therapy and when it might be right to explore. It’s not for everyone, but journaling and keeping track of your recovery journey can help cement and reaffirm the progress you are making, and give you a natural opportunity for reflection. --- # Enough for universities https://myenough.com/universities Enough Sexual Violence Prevention Programme working to prevent and deter rape amongst young people and at Universities Rape of school and University age women is at epidemic proportions. A woman has a 4% chance of being raped each year at University. 90% will suffer trauma symptoms and 20% will suffer long term PTSD, which increases mortality risk by 40% a year Enough wishes to run 3 City wide evaluation pilots of the programme over 3 years. Effective, affordable, and scalable prevention must become our priority The Government and many other organisations, including Enough, are committed to innovating radical new approaches and reduce rape by 50% in 10 years. Universities and Schools will be the major arenas where these approaches have to be developed and tested. enough to end rape A simple and quick way for survivors to report and deter perpetrators They should go to the police or a SARC first if they want to What survivors actually want Report Independently No questions asked. Survivors Choose to share and store as much as they want, anonymously and privately as a deterrent Self Test Discreet and deterrent DNA kit. Results that belong to the survivor and no one else Recover Free online resources for survivors and their allies Early results in Bristol 90% Bristol students aware 90% trust Enough 70% believe deterrence being created 600+ rapes reported, rate of 1,600 per year DNA swabs successfully used 14 million deterrent social media views 20,000 uses a week of recovery resources Strong interest from media, stakeholders, and policy makers Key Questions asked by Universities Does Enough really create deterrence and prevent rape? Enough is based on many previous successful programmes for behaviour change, including drink driving, seat belt wearing and smoking. 70% of Students are already saying that they think Enough is preventing rape in Bristol. This needs to be confirmed by long terms studies (for which we have proposals). 90% of Perpetrators are now aware of the presence of Enough on campus, its reporting platform, its extraordinary social media reach and the presence of thousands of kits; they are aware through the enormous level of conversations we have sparked; they are aware that perpetrators are being named to the platform, and they will be aware that perpetrator DNA is being collected. Students have told us that whether or not this is used in court, the thought of your DNA being held on file is a threat. In the case of drink driving, the existence and possible use of breathalysers deterred far many more people than those that were actually brethalysed and then convicted. Do you always signpost to the Police and NHS? Yes. We consulted carefully before launch and we always tell survivors to go to the police or a SARC first if they want to. There is no evidence that we are diverting survivors from those resources. Enough is only for people (about 85%) that don’t choose to go there. Is it legal to collect DNA from your own body? Yes. It is anyone’s right to report this way and to collect, analyse, and store DNA samples from their own body. The forensic regulator is satisfied. Can Enough DNA evidence be admissible? Yes it can be. In situations where DNA evidence is relevant to the case, and where a survivor will testify that they collected the sample properly, without contamination, then it can be admissible. See full KC opinion here. How does Enough work with Universities? Enough is quick and simple to implement at new Universities Enough is student led on campus. Students volunteer and work free as ambassadors to introduce Enough to students, distribute kits, set up collaborations with student clubs and societies and safe spaces in and around campus, (Cafes, Bars, Resturants, Clubs etc) and local businesses. Local partners pay for and distribute kits to their customers and employees, and run events Students create and post a huge amount of social media content to student followers (over 20,000 in Bristol), ensuring that deterrent content is viewed 500,000 times a week Student survivors report at high levels and create deterrence Universities do not need to integrate any software or reporting processes Universities and Students Unions do not need to actively endorse Enough and no ongoing interaction is required Enough is a non profit, and is extremely lean and cost effective. Kits are very low cost, inclusive of testing, reporting platform, marketing, and recovery resources Kits should be distributed equivalent to c.30% of the student population each year The Top 100 Universities in the UK could be funded for £7.5m per year How can Enough be funded? Enough is a non profit CIC, with a Foundation being registered with the charity commission Enough has so far been funded by Philanthropists and the friends and family of Katie & Tom, the co-founders Enough is in discussion with major Foundations to fund 3 significant City pilots for 3 years; Bristol, and 2 others. Government agencies and departments are aware of, and interacting with Enough; and with the help of experts representing key stakeholders, Enough is developing evaluation pilot proposals for discussion. Enough could be funded directly by Universities. Our costs are c.3% of an average welfare budget.

This is a difficult and very personal question, and it’s absolutely okay to feel confused, upset, or unsure. You deserve compassion, understanding, and support while you process what has happened. Legal Definition of Rape in the UK The law in England and Wales defines rape very specifically: Rape occurs when a person intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus, or mouth of another person with their penis. The other person does not consent to the penetration. The perpetrator does not reasonably believe that the person consents. If the sexual act involved penetration with an object or body part other than a penis (for example, fingers or an object), it is not classed as rape under UK law, but is called assault by penetration – which is also a very serious sexual offence. Legal Definition of Sexual Assault Sexual assault in UK law can be committed by anyone, regardless of gender, and involves any sexual touching without consent. This includes unwanted touching of breasts, genitals, buttocks, or any sexual act that you did not agree to. Understanding Consent Consent is central to both rape and sexual assault under UK law. Consent means agreeing to sexual activity by choice, with freedom and with capacity to make that choice: Freedom: You must not be pressured, manipulated, threatened, or scared into agreeing. Capacity: You must be awake, conscious, sober enough, and old enough (the legal age is 16) to decide for yourself. You cannot give consent if: You are asleep or unconscious. You are too drunk or under the influence of drugs. You are being pressured, manipulated, tricked, or threatened. You are too young or vulnerable to understand and choose. Consenting to one sexual act does NOT mean consenting to another, and you can withdraw consent at any time—if someone does not stop when you ask, that is a sexual offence. If you didn’t freely choose or couldn’t choose to take part in sexual activity, and someone else went ahead anyway, the law recognises that as rape or sexual assault—even if the person was someone you know or trust. It makes no difference if you froze, went silent, or didn’t fight back; your lack of consent is what matters. --- # Where can I get help after rape? https://myenough.com/article02 Where can I get help after rape?

You’re likely reading this because something awful has happened to someone very close to you. It can be really hard for them to talk about what happened – they might be worried about how much you already know and what they will have to explain, they might fear a negative reaction, and they may not want you to associate what happened to them with them. Understandably, survivors often just want to forget and move on with their lives. Telling someone is an important step in moving forwards, but can feel like turning a nightmare into a reality. Your reaction is incredibly important – it means more because of your closeness, and it will be the start of rebuilding trust that has likely been shattered by this experience. This conversation is never going to be easy, but we hope the following steps mean you can navigate it in a more informed and compassionate way. Understand the reality of rape One of the most important things to do is to know what they are talking about, and understand the complexities they face. It is never as simple as ‘it happened, so I should report to the police.’ We’ve outlined what you should know about rape below. Create space for the conversation This could be the most awful thing that has ever happened to them. Respect the importance of this conversation by giving it the privacy and time it needs. In that moment, nothing else matters. Affirm what they have been through Don’t jump to conclusions or actions – that can come later. You simply need to affirm and bear witness to what they have been through. It may be hard for them to acknowledge, but affirming that this was not their fault is a powerful and vital message. Limit your questions They will share what they want to. If you do need to ask a question, only do it when they are truly finished speaking, consider the phrasing (so as not to imply doubt) and make it clear they don’t need to answer. Think whether the question is helpful for them or because of your own curiosity. Don’t assume a role Try to separate the structure and hierarchy of your relationship with them from what they are telling you and ask how they want you to be involved instead of assuming based on your relationship and previous situations. Don’t try to solve it now Prepare for your life to be disrupted a bit. See this a bit like a natural disaster – buildings can be knocked down in an instant, and take years to rebuild. This is a journey and it will be a more restorative one through your involvement, but is definitely not one to rush. You are listening to hear rather than listening to solve or advise. A non- judgmental ear can be a pivotal part of their recovery. This is going to upset you, but it’s not about you. Try not to project your emotions about what happened. Your role is to help them come to a realistic judgment of what happened. Think of yourself as their echo. It’s their decision, their voice. You are amplifying their voice, supporting them so they aren’t alone. You are never shouting anything yourself. Recovery takes place in the context of societal scripts - culture, workplace, education, family and friends. Today, these scripts are false and often put the burden of shame on survivors, instead of empowering them in their recovery. A more informed and compassionate society means we can challenge these myths, and be better allies. For parents... Don’t assume the role of rescuer. It’s all you might want to do, but it takes away their agency Try to listen from outside the structure of the relationship you have with them. There are implicit hierarchies and power dynamics at play which aren’t necessarily productive in this situation. For friends... You may well have friends who have been through something similar – don’t try to relate those experiences. There will be more nuance and difference than you expect and it may mean the survivor feels unheard. If they ask you to share, that’s completely different You may know the perpetrator, but this conversation isn’t about your relationship with them - it’s something that you can process privately away from the survivor Don’t be offended if they didn’t initially tell you For partners... You may feel angry that this happened, or guilt that it did. They weren’t responsible for what happened, and neither were you. Managing your anger or guilt is another emotional burden that the survivor does not need on their plate. The nature of your relationship may well change, but it can get back to where it was. You can play a really important role in rebuilding the trust and intimacy that has been shattered. For siblings... They are still your brother or sister, and want to be seen in that way. What happened to them hasn’t defined them. One of the most impactful things you can do is show them that you continue to see them in that way, while also making space to speak about it if and when they want to. Speak to your parents about this as much as you need to --- # Enough is Option 3 to report rape https://myenough.com/article04 Enough is Option 3 to report rape Enough is Option 3 There are 3 reporting options: Report to the Police. They will possibly refer you to a SARC for a full forensic examination Go to a SARC to get a complete forensic examination, immediate 24 hr in person care for all your needs, and advice Report with Enough. Self-test simply and discreetly and write a time-stamped testimony. Create deterrence and decide later if you want to report further. Option 1: Report to the Police The police themselves say this is a personal decision* It can help emotionally as part of the recovery process Where rape or sexual assault happened in a relationship, as part of a pattern of domestic abuse, reporting can help end the relationship and escape the violence. It could be the first step on the road to a guilty verdict in court. It can help them solve other cases and stop the attacker assaulting someone else *www.police.uk As the police themselves say, it is totally normal to be very unsure about reporting rape or sexual assault to the police, and about 85% choose not to. It is a survivor’s right to report what happened to them when and to whom they choose. Option 2: Report to a SARC Go to a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) to get immediate 24hr care for all your needs, a complete forensic examination, and advice on next steps. A complete forensic examination will ensure that the most evidence is professionally collected and has the best likelihood of being relevant and admissible, helping achieve an eventual prosecution in a wider range of criminal prosecutions. The manner in which any evidential sample is retrieved, analysed and stored could well be the subject of challenge in a criminal trial. Anyone involved in that process, including survivors using Enough, could be questioned and challenged about that in court. There are no guarantees that evidence relating to a DNA sample will be deemed admissible at trial. Each case will depend on its own circumstances. The SARC is independent and can help you decide next steps without any pressure to report to the police Option 3: Report with enough Enough provides an alternative for survivors to deter offenders from engaging in sexual assaults, and support them through their recovery. Enough is quick, easy, and totally private You can share the aim of creating real deterrence and encouraging other survivors to do the same It is 100% legal to report to Enough. You hold the power to decide exactly what you want to do, and when. No-one else. An Enough report can have 3 parts: An anonymous statement published to thousands on our website and in social media, telling the world what you want (with no names or details capable of identifying the offender) A private record (optional) eg: who, what, where, when; encrypted in a private account for your eyes only. This is saved and time stamped. You can download it any time you want and take it to the police in the future. This can create powerful deterrence. Self collect a DNA sample from your own body (optional). Get it analysed at our lab within 48 hours. The result is saved to your encrypted account, and half the sample is frozen at the lab for 20 years. You can allow police access to it if you ever want to. This could create powerful deterrence. Students in Bristol are choosing to report to Enough hundreds of times more often than they are to their University; and about 6x more often than they are to the Police. --- # When should I report my rape? https://myenough.com/article05 When should I report my rape? It’s important to know that there is no right or wrong moment. Many people feel upset, confused, or unsure about what to do next—and that’s completely normal. What matters most is your safety, your health, and your well-being. Take care of that first. If you feel unsafe or threatened, put your safety above everything else. Find a safe place, reach out to someone you trust, or call a helpline for support. If you feel safe and able, reporting as soon as possible can help medical professionals support you and collect important evidence. Evidence like DNA, clothing, or other items is best gathered within 48 hours of the assault If you want to preserve evidence but aren’t ready to talk to the police, you can visit a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) or your hospital; they can help store evidence and offer you medical care. This is best done within 48 hours. If you want to report using Enough you can make a detailed written record and save it in an encrypted account, and you can choose to collect a DNA sample quickly and easily, and post it to the lab. This preserves your options to decide if you wish to take action later, and helps create deterrence. It is also best done within 48 hours The choice about when—or whether—to report is yours. There is no deadline for how you should feel or what decision you must make. --- # Enough's DNA kit & testing https://myenough.com/article06 Enough’s DNA kit & testing Enough’s DNA kit includes a DNA swab, a water vial and an instruction manual. This is also available to read online, and via audio recording. The DNA kit is designed for people who do not want to report to the police or a SARC, allowing you to self-test in privacy and decide later what you want to do. The kit works for all genders, on many different parts of the body and can be used after showering. You simply unseal the swab, read the options for where to use the swab, log it with your online account, put it back in the pre paid envelope and post it overnight to the lab. Who does the testing? Our partner is a leading lab recognised by the government to meet a certain standard of excellence. We freeze half the sample before testing. This means it can be passed on to the police (if you ever want to). After testing the other half, we keep it for 20 years unless you tell us otherwise. We’ll send you an email to tell you when your results are available on your account. It will say how many DNA profiles were found in the sample (eg 1 male, 1 female). The results belong to you and no one else. --- # How does Enough prevent rape? https://myenough.com/article07 How does Enough prevent rape? Young survivors will name a large proportion of rapists to Enough’s platform, creating a real risk of conviction for rapists In just 6 months at Bristol University over 200 rapists were reported. Our social media communicated those reports over 25 million times. 90% of Bristol students were aware of that and 70% said it prevented rape. 50% of Bristol undergraduate women chose to take and keep a DNA kit, for them to use quickly and easily if ever they need. They were used to collect perpetrator DNA on the very first day. That DNA is now being stored, free for the survivor to share with the police for the next 20 years There are possibly about 200 repeat rapists at an average University. 85% are known to the survivor and can be named on Day 1. Because we expect 75% of survivors to report to Enough this means that more than 50% of all repeat rapists can be named by two survivors within 2 years. When two people accuse the same perpetrator at trial, 90% are convicted. 70% with DNA at trial. Enough is a game changer. Because of this Enough is in discussion with multiple police forces and it is possible that we will shortly start sending anonymous reports naming rapists immediately and directly to the police as intelligence. The police already have many rapists on their radar, but not yet enough evidence to make an arrest. Our intelligence could be the missing piece they need. Enough’s presence via its highly visible ambassador teams, its events, its enormous presence on social media, and the presence of thousands of kits helps start widespread conversations on the importance of consent, the devastating impact of trauma, and the shamefulness of perpetrator behaviour Enough has started to encourage and normalize the reporting and discussing of rapes by survivors. As this taboo is broken and survivors start receiving the care and support they deserve, even more survivors will choose to report Enough has the power to help end rape --- # Is Enough legal? https://myenough.com/article08 Is Enough legal? Yes it legal to collect DNA from your own body, have it analysed, and store it. Is Enough evidence admissible in Court? Concise Summary In principle, yes, Enough’s evidence can be admissible in court Enough is very new and only a relatively small number of kits have been distributed, so there has not been sufficient time for a first test case. However Enough kits are being successfully used to collect perpetrator DNA by survivors, and have been passed to the police as part of an investigation The National Police Chiefs Council have instructed the police to use Enough’s evidence where available, and to not discourage anyone from reporting with it DNA collected from forensic examinations by the police or a SARC has the best evidentiary value. And clothing and tampons have also been admitted. DNA evidence from any source (including the police/SARC) is only relevant where the accused denies physical contact, a minority of cases. This is because DNA does not show consent. There is no type of DNA evidence that is always guaranteed admissible in court, but any evidence can be of value and admissible, including Enough. Enough’s forensic grade DNA kit was developed, and is produced by, the same people that develop and produce kits for the British police For Enough’s evidence specifically, it will be considered for admission if the survivor will testify that the DNA sample was correctly collected following the instructions to avoid contamination. The judge will decide whether it will be admitted. Full opinion from King’s Counsel with experience in the admission of DNA evidence and the prosecution of serious sexual assaults Few cases ever reach court (about 3% of complaints). Of those, the fact of contact with a particular individual and the location where contact occurred are very often not disputed; it follows that DNA evidence recovered using the Enough method is only likely to be considered to be potentially relevant in a limited number of cases. The methods used by medical professionals at SARCs mean that DNA and other samples recovered during those processes provide more information and are therefore more likely to be relevant and rendered admissible in a wider range of criminal prosecutions. The manner in which any evidential sample is retrieved, analysed and stored could well be the subject of challenge in a criminal trial. Anyone involved in that process, including survivors using Enough, could be questioned and challenged about that in court if the prosecution choose to attempt to rely on the sample; whether they attempt to do so is a matter solely for the prosecuting lawyers. In any event, there are no guarantees that evidence relating to a DNA sample will be deemed admissible at trial. Each case will depend on its own circumstances. If the fact of contact by a particular individual is in dispute, it is conceivable that DNA evidence gathered using Enough could be deployed by the prosecution and deemed relevant and admissible by the court in a limited range of cases. In the first instance, the court would have to be satisfied, by the survivor’s own testimony, that the sample retrieved is genuine, free from contamination and has been collected and (whilst in their custody) retained in accordance with the instructions provided with our packs. The court would also expect to receive other evidence in order to establish the reliability of the sample. In circumstances where this can be established, the court would still be obliged to consider whether any resulting DNA evidence is relevant to the issues in the case and ultimately whether its admission into evidence is fair to the parties before allowing any party to rely upon it. Forensic evidence retrieved by medical professionals and criminal investigators is expected to be handled in line with strict forensic guidelines. This enhances the prospects of admissibility and maximises the potency of such evidence. Whilst objections to such evidence are rare, it does not insulate DNA evidence gathered in this way from challenge or guarantee its admissibility. Survivors can anticipate that samples retrieved using Enough are likely to be subjected to challenge even if the prosecution choose to rely upon them and whether or not they are admitted into evidence at trial. It is also possible that the defence may seek to rely on the samples if, for example, DNA from a third party which could exculpate the defendant is identified. In order to maximise the potential admissibility of DNA evidence gathered using Enough, our DNA kit was developed, and is produced by, the same people that develop and produce DNA kits for the British police. Enough has obtained this advice from King’s Counsel with experience in the admission of DNA evidence and the prosecution of serious sexual assaults in providing this aspect of the guidance. 15.03.25 --- # Can Enough cause false allegations? https://myenough.com/article09 Can Enough cause false allegations? No. No one can be accused via the Enough platform, everything is anonymous including the DNA. Any information on the platform remains encrypted in the private account of the survivor, and no one else can see it. Any snippet of testimony made public is done so with a human checking that no one and no incident can be identified. If the survivors chooses to download their evidence and take it to the police they can, and the police will investigate as normal. False accusations are rare. The Home Office estimate that c.4% of allegations made to the police are false, about 2,800 per year. There are about 430,000 rapes a year, so about 0.7% of rapes are falsely accused. About 30,000 men are raped each year, and men commit about 425,000 rapes a year. So men are 15x more likely to be a rapist than to be raped, and about 150x more likely to be a rapist than be falsely accused of rape. --- # The rape epidemic https://myenough.com/article10 The rape epidemic Sexual violence is at endemic levels in the UK. We estimate there are over 500,000 rapes a year*; well over half occurring by the age of 24*. Full time students are 5x* more likely to be raped than any other demographic group, and Young women and girls have a 5% chance of being raped each year. They have an 8% chance of being a smoker. Based on our rape estimate a woman is twice as likely to be raped as be diagnosed with cancer* Rapes are concentrated in major cities with high numbers of secondary school, sixth form college, and University students. Due to the extremely arduous process and the very low likelihood of justice being served, only 15% of rapes are reported to the police. Of those the vast majority of survivors withdraw from the process extremely quickly as they realise how hard it is going to be. Due to the difficulties of proving consent and guilt beyond reasonable doubt, only about 3% of accusations reach court*, and just over half deliver a guilty verdict,* usually several years after the crime was committed Out of the estimated over 500,000 rapes committed 1,600* rapists can expect to be found guilty. As the Victims Commissioner said: “Rape has effectively been decriminalized” * Sources: ONS police reported rapes (2024/5) 71,540 (England and Wales), 2,897 in Scotland (Scottish gov), 1,218 in N. Ireland (PSNI); % of rapes and sexual assaults reported to police (2020-24) 14.7% (England & Wales); 22% Scotland (Scot crime survey 2019-20), est 14.9% in N.Ireland (Enough). Convictions (2024-25) MoJ Eng & Wales, Scottish gov (2023-24), PPS N. Ireland. 90% of rapes are women (ONS 2024/25), 201,010 cancer diagnoses of women (World cancer research fund 2022-23) --- # The long term health impacts of rape https://myenough.com/article11 The long term health impacts of rape Rape may now cause more lost life than smoking (the government’s current largest health priority). Around 80% of survivors experience symptoms that meet the criteria for PTSD in the first week after sexual assault. Around 50% still meet criteria six months later. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as violence, accidents, or abuse. Its symptoms include vivid flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, sleep problems, and emotional numbness. PTSD can significantly disrupt daily life by affecting mood, concentration, and the ability to feel safe or connected to others. If untreated, it can lead to chronic distress, difficulties in personal relationships, work problems, and other mental health issues like depression or substance misuse. The impacts of PTSD are profound, often requiring professional support to help manage symptoms and restore normal functioning. In England and Wales, people aged 16 to 34 are more likely to experience sexual assault than older age groups, with the highest prevalence among 20- to 24-year-olds. For some people, this means experiencing trauma while they are navigating education, starting work, forming relationships, developing independence and building their sense of who they are. The impact can therefore reach far beyond the immediate aftermath. Around 1 in 10 women who had experienced rape or sexual assault reported that they had attempted suicide as a result. There is also evidence that PTSD is associated with increased risk of premature death. Overall, the impact on loss of quality of life, loss of life, lost contribution to society, and lost happiness is vast. As with smoking, the cost to the NHS is also vast. The Government spends c. £280m on smoking prevention; and it seems likely that Rape prevention will need to invest similar magnitudes of resources over extended timescales if we are to achieve the reduction required --- # Rape prevention around the world https://myenough.com/article12 Rape prevention around the world Rape is an enormous problem in all societies and seems to be worse in less developed countries and those with more patriarchal values In many countries there are similar responses as in the UK: Attempting to reform the police and justice systems to encourage reporting and improve conviction rates. While a lot has been achieved (by Operation Soteria for example in the UK) these efforts will not fundamentally succeed alone. as the rule of law requires proof beyond reasonable doubt, and innocence until proven guilty. As most rapes are perpetrated in private by an assailant known to the survivor this is impossible to achieve. In nearly all cases perpetrators simply assert they had consent. In many countries Rape Kits are being used by the Police and Sexual Assault Referral centres in the hope that they will encourage more survivors to come forward and make accusations, but this has not worked. As a result there have been numerous efforts by activists to develop new approaches and some of those show real promise Systematic Consent Education It has been demonstrated several times in different countries that systematic consent education in pupils aged 11-18 can lead to significant reductions in perpetration. Pupils need to receive about 5 hours of effective education to see this effect In the UK it is now law for all pupils to be taught this information, however the delivery of 5 hours education is not systematically being achieved. This should be made law. Alternative reporting Many survivors are understandably reluctant to start lengthy criminal proceedings when the prospect of prosecutions is so low In many countries alternative reporting platforms that don’t immediately feed into the CJS have been tried. Many Universities in different countries have platforms like the UK’s “Report + Support” or the US’s “Callisto”, where students can anonymously report sexual assault and rape and choose whether to engage in internal disciplinary processes. These systems have not won the confidence of students because they can only lead to an ineffective University disciplinary process and because students mistrust the motivations of the University administrators. Very few students report to them, and University administrators privately acknowledge that they are basically a box ticking exercise. In Australia the police have an alternative anonymous reporting platform to try and increase reports. This has also failed partly because there is very little awareness, and partly because survivors do not trust the police. Social Movements and Social Media Several times in recent years we have seen explosive social media campaigns highlighting the issue and calling out perpetrators and institutions, such as #MeToo, Everyones Invited in the UK, and Teach US Consent in Australia These campaigns have had enormous impact on awareness and in creating advocacy and pressure on institutions and governments to change; and many new laws have been instigated as a result. The campaigns were enormously powerful and very low cost However they have not been sustained or systematized, and they haven’t been able to close the loop and create genuine prevention Self Collection of DNA After the invention of rape kits for the police and SARCs, many of those innovators saw that survivors were still reluctant to come forward, partly because of the invasive nature of the exhaustive forensic examination The Forensic scientists knew that it was perfectly possible to collect an uncontaminated sample from your own body, much as it is possible to do a home Covid or pregnancy test. As a result many have been developed and tried: In the US, Canada, Australia, Kenya and the Uk In some cases such as the US and the UK trials during Covid were stopped after the pandemic. However In Australia self collection is available by walking into an A&E department . In Canada a trial is starting in remote Northern areas supported by the Canadian police and Federal Government How Enough builds on these experiences Enough has carefully studied all of these experiments and in most cases had extensive discussions with those involved. Enough aims to build on their learnings and combine them into a uniquely powerful system: Creating powerful pervasive low cost education through social media Establishing a genuinely trusted and well used reporting platform Creating real systematic risk for perpetrators using the power of social media Truly democratising DNA self collection, giving a kit to everyone that wants one without diverting from police or SARC --- # Who are Enough? https://myenough.com/article13 Who are Enough? Enough is a non profit, creating deterrence through a viral social movement at low cost. We give survivors a simple, easy way to report and create the real deterrence they want; and easy, free, access to support that works Enough is informed by advice, experience, and evidence from the leading experts worldwide. Enough is a social enterprise whose operation and evaluation can be funded by people and organisations who care and are committed to ending rape: Individuals, Police and Crime Commissioners, Universities, Employers, the Government, Foundations, and the public. So far Enough has been funded by individuals, by public donations, employers, and the national lottery. Full independent evaluations are the next step for Enough, and we are hoping to work with community stakeholders including Police and Crime Commissioners, Universities and organisations to make this happen. Our Team: Katie White, Co-Founder katie@myenough.com Katie’s motivation comes from being a close friend to several survivors, and from witnessing the lack of meaningful options available to them — and the wider societal acceptance of sexual violence. Before launching Enough with Tom, Katie started her career in brand strategy at Lippincott and M&C Saatchi, helping shape some of the world’s leading brands and campaigns. Alongside this work, she founded the Cliteracy Crusade, a movement to advance gender equality through literacy of the clitoris. Tom Allchurch, Co-Founder tom@myenough.com Tom is the father of a survivor and has been working on sexual violence prevention on multiple projects with leading experts in the UK, US, and around the world for 10 years. He is an entrepreneur with a background in consumer and Tech, working in senior roles with companies like Unilever, Amazon, and Hello Fresh. He co founded Talk Consent the leading consent and sex education provider in the UK. He works full time on Enough, unpaid. Dr Maisie Johnstone, Clinical Lead clinicallead@myenough.com Maisie is a Counselling Psychologist whose doctoral thesis explored sexuality following rape. She has worked across both public and private sectors, including Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs), secure services and NHS acute mental health settings. Her clinical and research work focuses on the psychological impact of sexual violence and trauma, and on developing accessible, evidence-informed approaches to recovery. At Enough, she leads research and development of digitally enabled approaches to reporting and recovery, combining clinical effectiveness with user engagement, accessibility and safety. Maisie is a survivor. Enough has been supported by and helped by many Individuals and Organisations we have consulted with and whose advice we have acted on. --- # How Enough was developed https://myenough.com/article14 How Enough was developed Enough carefully studied the experience of survivors, the criminal justice system and approaches to preventing rape around the world. Over the last 9 years, we talked to leading academics, scientists, and experts. Enough also spent a year talking to survivors in Bristol and co developing our approach. Only when we were confident that Enough was truly what the majority of survivors were asking for and create genuine prevention did we launch. We have not asked permission to launch. Our service is legal and is for survivors and those that support survivors. If survivors support and use Enough, and if the public support Enough because they believe it can help end rape, that is what matters. For too long the existing system expects survivors to change and meet the system. Its about time the system truly changed to meet survivors. Despite 50 years of efforts to improve criminal justice the amount of rape has not changed, and few survivors are choosing existing services. It is not good enough to say that survivors should simply report to a SARC or get help from a Rape Crisis Center if they don’t want to. As the government says, Survivors have the right to choose their own course. The world has changed beyond all recognition in the last 50 years. Low cost digital media and tech have revolutionised the rest of our lives, creating enormous benefits. It's time these benefits found their way into the public and non profit sectors --- # How does Enough work with Cities & Universities? https://myenough.com/article15 How does Enough work with Cities & Universities? Enough is quick and simple to implement in new Cities and Universities Enough is student and young person led in schools, on campus and in the workplace. Volunteers work free as ambassadors to introduce Enough, distribute kits, set up collaborations with clubs and societies and safe spaces all over the city, (Cafes, Bars, Resturants, Clubs etc) and local businesses. Local partners pay for and distribute kits to their customers and employees, and run events Ambassadors create and post a huge amount of social media content to local followers, ensuring that deterrent content is viewed hundreds of thousands of times a week Survivors report perpetrators at high levels and create deterrence. E.g. at Bristol 100x the rate compared to the university Schools, Universities and Workplaces do not need to integrate any software or reporting processes Universities and Students Unions do not need to actively endorse Enough and no ongoing interaction is required. The option to collaborate at in person activations and on social media can help create further deterrence, and make students more aware of all options. Regardless, Enough will promote all options to students in the interest of choice for survivors. Enough is a non profit, and is extremely scalable and cost effective. Kits are very low cost, inclusive of testing, reporting platform, marketing, and recovery resources Kits should be distributed equivalent to c.20% of the student population each year How can Enough be funded? Enough is a non profit CIC and has so far been funded by individuals that support its mission Enough can be funded in several ways: By the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner of the regional constabulary By local businesses and employers to support the safety of their own teams and their families and to sponsor Enough in their local community By Universities, the costs are equivalent to c.3% of an average welfare budget. By the Home Office. Enough has the potential to genuinely prevent rape at very low cost across the country. The government have committed to reducing rape by 50% in 10 years. By brands that wish to partner and collaborate with Enough and sponsor part of its programme with young people By donations from the public and from grant giving organisations committed to VAWG --- # How Enough will be evaluated? https://myenough.com/article16 How Enough will be evaluated? On impact and on cost. We successfully reduced smoking, drink driving, HIV/Aids, and many other major harms through very cost effective, long running and systematic public campaigns to create understanding, change social norms and change behaviour. Rape can be the same Enough is in discussion with evaluation organisations that will independently evaluate its impacts and its costs over at least 3 years, in at least 3 cities The evaluation will assess whether or not perpetration of rape significantly declines in the pilot cities in comparison with others where Enough is not active. Other attributes will be evaluated in order to more fully understand the process by which prevention is being created. These will include measures of awareness and understanding, public perception and beliefs, alongside measure of communication weight and effectiveness The costs of Enough will be thoroughly examined and independent health economists will assess the costs to society of rape by comparison; in terms of costs to life quality, life expectancy, productivity and the costs of health treatment Ultimately we need to know whether investment in Enough is returned many times over in benefits to society. --- # What's next for Enough? https://myenough.com/article17 What’s next for Enough? Enough has several near term goals. We want to further dramatically improve our impact. While we are proud of our first two years, we are confident we can double our impact on prevention by improvements based on our learnings We know that our communication can be even more effective than before, and we hope that the confusing public opposition we have faced from Rape Crisis and the Sexual Assault Referral Centres can stop. We hope to win Government, Home Office and Police support; and we hope that the Universities, and Students Unions can help everyone be confident that reporting with Enough is their own free choice We want to partner with all School and College 6th forms and with all major employers, so that Enough reaches every young person aged 16-24 We are in discussion with several other Cities, and hope to launch in 2-3 more Finally, we are very pleased to be helping 20,000 survivors a week who are using Enough’s trauma recovery platform. We hope that increases to over 100,000. We plan to add several new features including self assessment, many other video therapists, and Ai therapy. 75% of survivors cannot access NHS help at the moment, so its urgent that we help to close that gap. More survivors need free accessible help to recover more quickly, and more fully. --- # Myths about Enough https://myenough.com/article18 Myths about Enough Enough DNA is inadmissible Enough DNA can be admitted if physical contact is denied by the accused, and if the survivor will testify that they collected the sample correctly. This has been confirmed by leading KC barristers, leading law officers, and authorities on DNA admissibility. Enough samples are being used by police in rape investigations, and the police have been instructed to treat self-testing kits with the same evidential integrity as any other evidence, and to not discourage survivors coming forward with evidence from Enough. Enough diverts survivors from going to the Police, the SARCs, or Rape Crisis Enough does not divert, and always signposts survivors to the Police and SARCs before they report. Enough always signposts survivors to Rape Crisis after they report. Enough is an alternative to inaction, as an option for the 86% that don’t report to the police, 95% that don’t go to a SARC, and estimated 85% that don’t go to Rape Crisis. Using Enough to collect perpetrator DNA and storing it is illegal It is legal to collect DNA from your own body, have it analysed and store it Enough has been banned by the FFLM Enough has not been banned and the FFLM Is not a regulator. The FFLM simply says that survivors should be encouraged to go to the police or a SARC first (which Enough has always done). Survivors must be informed that a full forensic examination has more evidentiary weight than an Enough DNA sample, which we make very clear Enough is for profit and is trying to sell kits to students Enough has always been non profit and we only distribute kits free to students. Enough has been funded by individuals, employers and the National Lottery; and we hope will now be funded by a mixture of organisations including the Police and Crime Commissioners, Home Office, Universities, further employers, and brands. The Public can buy kits if they wish and donate to pay for kits for others. Enough sells private data and DNA profiles Enough has no access to anyones private data, and we don’t know who has encrypted data on our platform. We do not have access to any DNA profiles or samples. Those remain the property of the survivor, and are held for them by the independent lab. Enough copied its brand name from the Government We were not aware of the Governments Enough campaign against street harassment when we registered our company and the trademark, and we did not deliberately copy their campaign name. Enough is the owner of the Enough trademark for rape prevention services but is happy for anyone to use it. Enough is opposed by the Police and Home Office Enough was in contact with the police several months before we launched and consulted on how to launch so that we would complement their work. We followed their requests. They asked us not to imply that they endorse us. The Home Office and other Government departments and agencies are fully aware of Enough and we have contact at various points. The Home Office is looking for new initiatives that can prevent rape, are cost effective, and scalable. We hope that we can demonstrate we are all those things. --- # Rape Myths https://myenough.com/article19 Rape Myths 1. It’s not the survivor’s fault. Everyone has the right to wear whatever they want and behave however they want without asking for rape or sexual violence. 2. False accusations are not common. A man is 10x more likely to be raped himself than falsely accused, and it is far more common for survivors to not report (83%) than for people to falsely accuse. (Independent, 2019) 3. Many survivors do not report straight away. It can take a long time to come to terms with what happened, and disclosing is a huge decision. Reporting is not to be taken lightly and rarely leads to the justice they want and deserve. 4. It does not happen in a dark alley way, by someone unknown 86% rapes are by someone that the survivor knows. (Rape Crisis, 2024) 5. They didn’t run away, they didn’t want it to happen It’s incredibly common to freeze or not be able to speak before a rape starts – it’s how the body reacts to an abnormal and traumatic situation. Watch Why did I? to learn more. --- # Criticism of Enough https://myenough.com/article20 Criticism of Enough Enough's existence exposes a system that is not working. Some of the organisations that run that system, or claim to speak for survivors within it, have responded by trying to discredit us rather than engage with the evidence. This response is typical of any revolution or innovation: change can be uncomfortable. We have offered and continue to offer meetings for critics, so far they have refused. Our aim is to work with the system, and complement the police and SARC, always prioritising those as reporting channels. There are two criticisms made against us. Neither holds up. Is Enough admissible? Yes in principle it can be. Forensic evidence does not require a specific collection method to be admissible. Tampons and underwear have convicted rapists. Self-collected evidence is accepted by the same legal standard. Police forces are already accepting evidence from our kits in investigations. The gap between what critics say publicly and what police do operationally is itself a story. Does Enough divert from Police/SARC? No. We encourage survivors to go to police or a SARC first. Enough exists for the 85% who do not. We are not competing with the existing system. We are reaching the people it does not. The deeper point is this: the system is failing. 500,000 rapes a year, 1,600 convictions. If the organisations opposing us have a better answer, we would welcome the debate. So far, they have not offered one. Should you meet us? Meeting is a good opportunity to assess the facts and ask questions. We respect the criticism and constructive feedback that comes our way, but it is almost always caused by one of the misconceptions above. There is a rape emergency in the UK, we need new and radical ideas to address it. Enough is one of them. If not Enough, what instead? --- # How is Enough so incredibly low cost? https://myenough.com/article21 How is Enough so incredibly low cost? Enough can be delivered in a city for roughly 10% of the cost of Rape Crisis and a SARC, but can help many times more people – how is that possible?   Enough harnesses the power of student volunteers, local businesses, universities, major employers, and other volunteer organization and runs continuous event and collaborations to spread the word   This is filmed (always with permission) and turned into amazing content and shared virally on social media   Because this issue is one of the largest for young women, and for young men; and because Enough is overwhelmingly trusted and welcomed by students, the content is shared millions of times at zero cost   Meanwhile thousands of low cost symbolic deterrent kits are distributed to anyone  that wants. They are easy to use correctly, and then you post them straight to the lab, who upload the results to your account. The whole thing can be done for less than £50.   SARCs spend about £1,600 on each full forensic examination. The SARC exam collects far more evidence, and is certainly more authoritative. However less than 5% of survivors go and get one. It looks very possible that far more will choose to collect DNA with Enough   Private encrypted rape reports to the Enough platform are quick and easy for survivors, and create enormous deterrence and a powerful store of potential intelligence for nearly zero cost   Once survivors have reported, they can access free online trauma informed and evidence based recovery resources. We know from feedback that this is helping many, and is probably saving lives that might be otherwise lost to suicide (there are 9,000 a year). Our resources are being used already by 20,000 survivors a week. Rape Crisis helps about 150,000 a year. About 15% of new survivors approach Rape Crisis for help. 85% do not. The cost of these resources are also tiny.   Enough has done all this with a tiny agile team, embracing new technology and ideas, free of bureaucracy, focused only on providing services that actually work for survivors, that they overwhelmingly actually want to use --- # Most rapes are by repeat offenders https://myenough.com/article22 Most rapes are by repeat offenders Most people think Rape is a crime committed by many different men in many different circumstances. The evidence tells a sharply different story: most rapes are committed by a relatively small number of men who offend repeatedly. What the research shows The strongest evidence comes from anonymous self-report studies. David Lisak’s survey of nearly 2,000 US college men found that 63% of those whose acts met the legal definition of rape had done it more than once. An independent US Navy study of over 1,100 recruits put the figure at 71%. Two different populations, two different methods, the same finding: roughly two-thirds of rapists are repeat offenders. UK police data is consistent with this. Operation Soteria Bluestone, a Home Office programme that analysed over 366,000 reported sexual offences across five forces, found that between one in five and nearly half of named suspects, depending on force, were linked to more than one sex offence. Of those repeat suspects, 92% targeted different victims over time — true serial offenders. And this is only the visible tip of an enormous iceberg: just 15% of rapes are ever reported to police, so the proportion of actual repeat offenders is probably much higher, perhaps in the same range as the US studies. Soteria also found that when researchers reviewed the same case files officers had handled, they identified twice as many repeat suspects. Half were missed even though the evidence was already in police systems. How often do serial rapists offend? Lisak and Miller found repeat rapists averaged 5.8 lifetime rapes, but the distribution is heavily skewed: most had committed two or three, while a small number had committed many more. Research on offending careers suggests a variety of active phases, most relatively short of three to six years; but some very long. Combined, this points to perhaps one to three rapes per year during active offending as a reasonable, conservative range How many repeat rapists are there in the UK? Starting from an estimated 500,000 rapes per year in the UK (consistent with Crime Survey and Rape Crisis figures), and applying the 50–70% repeat-offender range at one to three rapes per year, the model implies between 150,000 to 250,000 active serial rapists committing 50–90% of all rapes Why this matters Even under conservative assumptions, the majority of rape in the UK is committed by men who have done it before. Most are unknown to police, and many of those who do come to attention are not recognised as repeat suspects even when the evidence exists. This reframes the problem: reducing rape is less about deterring many one-off decisions than about identifying and stopping persistent offenders. Treating prior allegations as serious intelligence, and building investigations around suspect behaviour rather than victim credibility, are the highest-leverage interventions available. Every missed serial offender is almost certainly going on to harm someone else. --- # At Home DNA testing already common https://myenough.com/article23 At Home DNA testing already common Every year, around one million people in Britain collect their own DNA at home. They take a swab, or spit into a tube, seal an envelope, and post it to a laboratory. Within days, results arrive telling them whether they carry genes linked to Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, or certain cancers; confirming or ruling out paternity; mapping ancestral origins stretching back centuries; or providing the court-admissible evidence needed to resolve an immigration case or custody dispute. Home DNA testing is no longer a novelty. It is a mainstream, trusted, legally recognised practice sold at Boots and delivered through the post. The uses are varied but hugely important. Genealogy has driven much of the growth, with services such as Ancestry and 23andMe allowing ordinary people to trace family trees, and connect with relatives they never knew existed. Medical wellness testing has followed close behind, with kits revealing hereditary risk factors that allow people to make vital informed decisions about serious health issues long before any symptoms appear. In immigration and family law, home-collected DNA samples are now routinely accepted in courts to establish familial relationships or confirm paternity. The science of self-collection is well understood and reliable. Forensic scientists have long recognised that saliva and other swabs are stable, robust sources of DNA that carry minimal contamination risk when collected with simple, clear instructions and forensic grade kits. The millions of accurate, legally admissible results produced every year from home kits are proof enough. Against this backdrop, it is worth noting just how widely DNA is already being collected from members of the public in everyday life — often without them thinking twice about it. Spit kits are a practical reality for frontline workers. Emergency service personnel, ticket collectors, and supermarket staff at Tesco have become familiar with the fact that spit attacks — a disturbingly common form of assault — leave behind recoverable DNA. Saliva spat at a worker is now routinely collected and processed as evidence. Courts have gone further still. Semen spat into a cup on a roadside has been admitted as DNA evidence at trial. The principle is established: biological material, collected outside a clinical setting, handled carefully, can carry full evidential weight. The police themselves recognise this. Following a sexual assault, officers instruct survivors to preserve their own underwear and tampons — items of intimate, personal evidence gathered without any clinical supervision whatsoever — because the biological material they contain may be crucial. Survivors are obviously trusted to handle their own evidence. It is therefore extraordinary that the same survivors are not trusted to use a forensic-grade DNA collection kit at home. Currently, preserving forensic evidence after sexual assault means undergoing a full clinical examination — a process that can last four hours, that many survivors find deeply distressing, and that requires attendance at a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) at one of the worst moments of a person’s life. It is no wonder that so few survivors make the trip to one of the only 55 places in the country to do this. Last year out of 20,000 estimated rapes in Avon and Somerset only 3%, 600, went to the SARC. Even less surprising when you learn that only 10 of those DNA samples ever made it to court. A forensic-grade home kit, with proper chain-of-custody protocols, would change this. The technology exists. The legal frameworks exist. The precedents — roadside semen, preserved underwear, spit kits, a million swabs posted through letterboxes every year — already exist. The only thing missing is the will of society to put survivors first. --- # ASA ruling https://myenough.com/article24 ASA ruling The ASA ruling and comment about it has caused confusion Enough does not produce advertising trying to sell kits. The ruling refers to website and social media copy Enough did not mislead about the amount of rape, which we estimate is more than 500,000 per year. We agreed to ensure that this is labelled as an estimate, and the basis of calculation Enough did not mislead that its DNA samples can in principle be admissible. We agreed to always insert the words “in principle” alongside “can”. Only 1 complaint was made to the ASA, by a former ASA board member, previously a senior member of the criminal justice system --- # Open letter about FFLM & Rape Crisis https://myenough.com/article25 Open letter about FFLM & Rape Crisis From: Enough To: Students, Universities, and Students Unions 26th September 2026 Dear Students, Students Unions, and University Leaders On 10 September 2026 the Faculty of Forensic and Legal Medicine (FFLM) wrote to Students’ Union presidents about Enough. On 18 September Rape Crisis England and Wales posted about Enough on LinkedIn. Both contain statements that are untrue. They risk confusing the very students and survivors they aim to protect. We want to set the record straight. Simply and respectfully. 1. Enough is free and not for profit Rape Crisis described our kits as commercial products sold to students. This is untrue. Enough is a Community Interest Company. We do not sell kits. We give them free to anyone who asks. We do not make or distribute profits. 2. Enough is backed by independent research and by students Rape Crisis says there is no independently established evidence base for what we do. This is untrue. Independent research by Censuswide in May 2026 found that 75% of people believe the current reporting process actively deters survivors. Our university pop up research surveyed over 800 students at 10 universities including UCL and King’s College London and LSE and Cambridge and Reading and Brighton. 44% said they would report to Enough 31% to the police and 15% to a SARC. 75% said they would be more likely to go on to report to the police after first reporting to Enough. This initial evidence suggests the importance of an independent evaluation. 3. Enough was built with expert advice and is honest about it The FFLM says it did not help develop our kit. In 2023 and 2024 we met several of leadership team (at that time) of the FFLM. We discussed how to collect uncontaminated swabs in private and the design of the kit and the choice of swab and laboratory and DNA tests and our instructions to survivors. We never asked for or claimed an endorsement. In one early document we described the FFLM as advisers. We apologised and removed it at once. It is correct that the FFLM gave us advice, for which we are grateful. 4. Enough always puts the police and SARCs first Both organisations suggest our kits could harm criminal justice outcomes or lead students away from specialist care. This is untrue. Enough is clearly presented as the third option after the police and a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC). No one can use Enough without first confirming they understand that a full forensic examination is more comprehensive and may carry more weight in court. The police themselves advise survivors to preserve their own evidence. The vast majority of survivors do not have evidence today, Enough helps retain evidence otherwise lost. 5. Enough connects survivors to the care they need Rape Crisis says survivors may miss treatment for injuries or pregnancy or infections. This is untrue. We signpost every survivor to the services they may need or want. That includes the police and SARCs and Rape Crisis. Our evidence shows Enough makes students more aware of these services and therefore more likely to use them. 74% of students surveyed by Enough had not heard of a SARC, Enough volunteers educated them on this option. 6. Enough tells survivors the truth about the law Both suggest we mislead survivors about DNA in court. This is untrue. We have always said DNA alone cannot prove rape because it cannot prove lack of consent. We have always said Enough DNA “can” be admissible. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) asked us to change and after consultation with CAP we now say “can in principle be admissible”. No Enough sample has yet reached trial for a simple reason. Our first kit was used two years ago and most rape cases take at least that long to reach court. DNA does not require a specific collection method to be admissible. Any DNA evidence can be challenged, including SARC evidence. Last year in Avon and Somerset 616 forensic examinations led to just 10 DNA samples being presented in court. 7. Enough is honest about the scale of rape The FFLM says the ASA found we overstated how common rape is. This is untrue. The ruling followed a complaint from a single individual. The ASA did not find our figure was wrong. It asked us to make clear that it is an estimate and explain how we reach it. Using the data Rape Crisis itself publishes we estimate there are around half a million rapes in the UK each year. 8. Enough is built to prevent rape The FFLM says there is no evidence Enough deters rape. Enough is far more than a kit. In six months at the University of Bristol students reported over 200 rapes to Enough. 90% of students knew about Enough. In polls run by student societies 86% said they would report to Enough and 70% said they believed it was creating deterrence. This is not yet proof. It is strong early evidence and we welcome anyone who wants to study it with us. 9. No case has collapsed because of Enough The FFLM repeats claims that cases have collapsed where kits were used. This is untrue. No one has provided any evidence of such a case. We know which kits police have requested. Police forces have been told to use Enough evidence where it exists and not to discourage survivors from coming forward with it. Who are the FFLM? The FFLM is not a regulator. The FFLM sets the exams that everyone must pass to work at a SARC. The FFLM are paid to provide the training and administer the exams. They are then paid membership fees to represent their members within the medical profession. Many of those who lead the FFLM work for SARCs. Everyone has the right to collect DNA from their own body if they want. In fact over 1 million people a year already successfully collect uncontaminated DNA at home. To determine paternity, understand their genetic risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer, and for genealogy. Who are Rape Crisis England & Wales Rape Crisis England & Wales is a long established feminist charity working on sexual violence. It provides a national help line and chat service, and there are 35 other member Rape Crisis charities providing local in person support to Survivors. Rape Crisis charities receive mainly public funding, estimated to be over £70 million a year, to provide their support services. Nationally, Rape Crisis supported about 48,000 people last year and about 21,000 received some counselling or therapy. About 12,000 people are on waiting lists. Apart from raising awareness about the prevalence and impacts of sexual violence and abuse, they do not propose any new prevention strategies. Rape Crisis seeks more public funding to expand their support services. Students are standing with Enough Enough has mass student support. We have well over 100,000 social media followers and over 60 million social media views. 20,000 people a week use our free trauma recovery resources. Student volunteers are running Enough at universities across the country including Kings College London, Nottingham Trent and Cambridge, with many more starting at their universities soon. They expose the hidden rape epidemic on their campuses and help create the change to keep their friends safe. The kits are a very small part of their work. Young men are among our strongest supporters. This is a movement led by students who have said clearly that they want real prevention a new way to report, and a new way to get support. The level of support that young people and students are showing in the work they do for Enough is a phenomenon that the whole of society should be encouraging. No other organization has the potential to create mass support amongst the very people who are most at risk within the social groups from which their perpetrators come. Why we are writing publicly We have contacted both organisations several times. Most recently on the 27th of September. We explained why their statements are untrue and confusing for students and survivors. We offered to meet both to agree a common position statement. We have not heard back from the FFLM. Rape Crisis have written declining to ever meet us, withdraw or apologise for their untrue statements. They have asked us to stop writing to them when they misrepresent us. We find it regrettable that two such powerful publicly funded organisations appear to be trying to hinder a new organisation that may bring real prevention and new ways to report. Students and survivors have asked for these alternatives. Fewer than one in seven survivors report to the police today. 95% choose not to go to a SARC. Less than 10% get any support from Rape Crisis, less than 5% get counselling or therapy from them. We share your objectives of tackling this hideous epidemic of sexual violence, and welcome any questions that you may have. Yours sincerely Katie White and Tom Allchurch Co founders Enough --- # Privacy policy https://myenough.com/privacy Privacy Policy Effective Date: 18th September 2024 "Enough" ("we," "our," "us") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws in the United Kingdom. By interacting with us, whether by visiting our website, attending our events, donating, or otherwise engaging with our work, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. 1. Who We Are We are enough CIC, trades as "Enough", and is a non profit in the UK with the mission to end sexual violence by providing support, education, and resources to survivors and the public, particularly university students and young adults. 2. Data We Collect We may collect and process the following personal data: Personal Information: Name, contact information (email address, phone number, postal address), and date of birth. Financial Information: Payment details when buying kits or making a donation. If you submit a DNA sample the testing laboratory will store limited data about the test results (including the date of the test, the number of DNA profiles detected, and unique reference numbers for those DNA profiles) on its own systems. They will also store the DNA samples. They will not have your personal information Fundraising Preferences: Your interests in our fundraising activities, including donation history. Communication Preferences: How you prefer to hear from us (e.g., email, post, or phone). Website Data: Cookies, IP address, browser type, and browsing behaviour on our website. Event Participation: Information when you sign up for or attend events (e.g., webinars, charity walks). 3. Your Report and DNA sample Our forensic kit meets the requirements to be labelled as Forensic DNA Grade. Specifically our swab is produced by Sarstedt and is ISO 18385 accredited. Our kits will be self-swabbed, sent via Royal Mail special delivery to an accredited laboratory. The laboratory will not be able to compare results to those held on the UK National DNA Database If you send a completed test, the online reporting form asks you for your consent to the use of the DNA test results. The reporting form asks you to provide your name and contact information and the barcode number of the test kit to allow you to access your test results. The laboratory does not receive your personal information You must be over the age of 16 to submit a sample for a DNA test. With your consent, the testing laboratory will store limited data about the test results (including the date of the test, the number of DNA profiles detected, and unique reference numbers for those DNA profiles) on its own systems. There is no possibility or desire for either Enough or the laboratory to attribute the samples to an individual person. If you choose to name the alleged perpetrator, that will only exist in your encrypted private account. In parallel, we will set up an account for you on our secure, encrypted platform using the data you provide in the reporting form, from which you will be able to access your DNA test results. We and the laboratory will have access to the barcode number so that we can share your results with you, but neither we nor the laboratory will receive anything else you write on the reporting form unless you share it with us through another channel. The results will be shared via your online account. You will be informed the number and gender of DNA profiles The encryption technology we use prevents access or decryption of the data. Only you are able to access the data so that if you choose to name other individuals in your encrypted account, you are the only one who can see that information. We do not receive any DNA samples collected via the DNA self-test kit from the laboratory. If, at a later time, you decide to make a report to the police, you can download your report from your account and give this information to the police. We are not testing for criminal purposes. Nevertheless, our laboratory partner is accredited, with significant overlap with the FSP CoP. The laboratory will retain an untested portion of the sample, which can be handed over to the police so that they can run their own forensic analysis. The portion of the sample that the laboratory analyses to give confirmation of the number of profiles would not be used by the police. We recommend that individuals who want to report to the police or a SARC should go there first because: The results from a self-taken swab will have an impact on results from a subsequent forensic medical examination and will affect interpretation by a forensic scientist. The testing will not be as extensive as at the Police/SARC With advice from the leading forensic and legal experts, we have created a self-testing process that is as reliable as possible, including a time-stamped testimony and a frozen portion of the untested sample, with the shortest chain of custody, and the highest chance of being deemed ‘fair’ by a court Courts decide whether evidence will have an adverse effect on the fairness of proceedings, and may omit evidence under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, 1984. The laboratory will keep half of the sample (untested) to allow the police to be able to run their own analysis. The laboratory will not share your results any further unless compelled to do so by law. The lab will retain the untested half of your DNA sample for 20 years, or until you ask us to destroy them. Your test results will be held indefinitely in your Enough account, or until you ask us delete them. 4.
