Constance Singam needs no introduction in the world of civil society. As a former President of AWARE, former President of the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations, and key member of Transient Workers Count Too, amongst many other things, she has long worked hard for women’s welfare and the protection of the vulnerable. We are very pleased to announce her personal endorsement of the No To Rape campaign. Here is her message of support:
“Rape is rape.
Rape is rape, regardless of the relationship between the rapist and the victim. The rapist can be a total stranger or someone you know or someone you are married to.
Marital rape is the worst kind of violation of a most trusting, intimate and cherished relationship between a man and a woman.
Marital Rape should therefore be criminalized.”
Our sincere thanks to Constance Singam for these strong words against sexual violence in any guise.
