The Rape Crisis statistic encompasses other forms of sexual violence of course, but still the number of female sexual violence victims in the current EE cast is frighteningly close to reality.Quote:
1 in 5 women aged 16 - 59 has experienced some form of sexual violence since the age of 16
Another statistic on that page is that only around 15% of those who experience sexual violence choose to report to the police. This means that, unbeknown to us, we all know several victims of sexual violence that have kept it secret. :(

Thanks, Dazzle, that's very interesting. I was genuinely asking the question because I didn't know whether the number was about right. It seems it is, sadly.

Sorry, but I just don't believe Lauren would think for an instant that greeting her father like that after colluding in his imprisonment would win her any favours.
I think Vincent's treating Kim really badly. I know I'm not against him and Donna having a baby on the grounds they're foster siblings, but I am against in on the grounds it's hurting his wife. It would be totally unreasonable for anyone - whatever their situation - to suddenly inform their partner they're having a baby with someone else. :thumbsdow
How are we expected to believe Patrick would be so laid back about it? I'm not surprised about Claudette because she'll do anything to win Vincent back and doesn't give a toss about Kim's feelings.
Pam lecturing Les about letting Paul be himself...hypocrite much? :angry:
Yes, that's what this whole scenario of Paul & Ben at the car lot etc. was designed for though in typical Eastenders "we don't go in for subtle" approach.Quote:
