In March 2020, the Crime Survey for England and Wales released statistics stating an estimated 773,000 adults aged between 16 and 75 years were victims of sexual assault in the year March 2019 to March 2020. The latest ONS report states that there were almost four times as many female (618,000) victims than male (155,000).

‘Every five minutes in the UK, someone is raped,’ states The Survivors Trust. This is a powerful statement that brings to light the increasingly heartbreaking statistics on sexual violence in the UK.

Caitlin Eve Derrick, a 19-year-old artist from Swansea, South Wales, is passionate about giving back to her community and supporting charities close to her heart. Caitlin has chosen to support The Survivors Trust charity in her next artistic endeavour.
