Coronation Street - Carla's Ordeal

I have to applaud Coronation Street for last night's episode surrounding the rape of one of the street's most loved ladies.

Carla Connor is renowned for being a hard-faced business woman, but the nation saw her at her most vulnerable after her husband-to-be (technically ex) raped her.

This is a very serious issue that was dealt with very delicately and has, hopefully, made people more aware of the seriousness of rape and date-rape!

Frank's parting words ("you made me do this") were truly disturbing. No one EVER makes someone rape them. Such words are pure mental manipulation. It is important for everyone to know that!

I hope all of the girls, and boys(!), out there are forever vigilant and try to remain as safe as possible.

Please look on the Internet for ways to boost your protection. It is also worth contacting your school governors, HR departments or even your managers to inform others within your institution as to how to stay safe. Rape alarms are something that should be distributed to everyone!

Take care!
