A flier put out by Kent Police in Great Britain lists “rape” as a non-emergency incident enraging women’s rights advocates.
A flier put out by Kent Police near one of their stations in Great Britain listed “rape” as a non-emergency incident, enraging women’s rights advocates.
The BBC article stated, “Kent Police has come under fire for displaying a sign listing rape and sexual assault as ‘non-emergency’ crimes in a police station.” Twitter user and feminist Jean Hatchet had shared the same image to her social media account and complained about it Wednesday. The outlet quoted Women’s Equality Party chief executive Catherine Smith, who slammed the flier. She declared, “There needs to be a human involved in speaking to the people who experience this. It demonstrates that the police are not prioritizing this crime, and it sends a message to women that what happened to them is not something serious.”
