Spiking is a major issue in the Bangor, to prevent it we ask that cup stickers be avalible if people want them to prevent spiking. We also ask that Rape kits be avaible to students as Rape is severely under-reported, and the process to report and have a rape kit done by the police is often invasive and can be uncomfortable as it's mostly males present for the whole process. Rape kits will give students a way to feel safer and for rape to be reported more frequently. These kits would also help LGBT+ memebers as Criminologist are just now doing surveys on Gay men and Women who have been raped or assaulted and have noticed it happens almost just as frequently as rape committed on women. It is just as under reported. These study's are in there early stages and just comming out. More research needs to be done, but these kits would not just help women but LGBT+ people and would hold people accountable. Not to mention if you do go to the police there is backlog on rape kits done through them and most of the time when they do get tested the DNA is to old and or destroyed this would help solve the issue on backlogged kits as it gives some relief and gives a chance for students to come to terms and report in a more comfortable and supportive environment by their own means at their own disposal and can early be sent in for test without using the police who are also severely understaffed. please push this through.
