'Being too drunk to say yes means no'
A new campaign in Greater Manchester is warning men not to take advantage of young girls when they have been drinking. It follows 30 reports of rape and sex assaults on students since August. Jess Lishak from Manchester University Students Union says unless 'we're not talking about what women could have done..it's about not doing it.'
Manchester Police: 'Drinking is not a crime rape is'
A new campaign in Greater Manchester is warning men not to take advantage of young girls when they have been drinking.
Police have investigated 30 rape cases involving university students in a three months period up to October. That’s compared to 15 in the same period in 2013.
They say many reported incidents have occurred after drunken liaisons between students on nights out.
The poster, which shows a group of girls laughing and joking in a bar, says: “It doesn’t matter what she’s wearing, how much she’s had to drink or whether you’ve kissed....sex without consent is rape.
“If she’s too drunk too consent then the best thing for all involved is to assume it has not been given.”
