Advert targets rape myths

The first Scottish TV advert aimed at challenging prejudices towards women who have been raped was shown for the first time last night.

The provocative advert, which shows a woman buying a short skirt to “increase her chances of being raped”, is aimed at those who attribute blame to victims because of the way they were dressed or because they were drunk or had been flirting.
