1 Naming the problem
The criminal justice system fails to recognise people born from rape (PBR) as victims, preventing their use of vital DNA evidence in investigations. This gap, along with low rape reporting and conviction rates, allows unconvicted rapists to remain free, endangering women and girls. Additionally, there is a lack of tailored support or research on best support for PBR, leaving professionals underprepared to assist them. Public awareness of Daisy's Law is low, and PBR often face unique challenges, including insecure attachment, mental health struggles, and societal stigma, with the broader impact of these issues largely unaddressed and unknown.
