Ms Noeline Blackwell:

I refer to the number of people who are raped within intimate relationships and as part of domestic violence. In those cases, one does not necessarily have to name the perpetrator for the perpetrator to be fingered and that could be a real concern for people because they are now identifying that they were raped in an intimate relationship and aspersions are being cast on the spouse or partner in those circumstances. Last year 19% of our clients reported pregnancy as a result of rape by an intimate partner.
