I am so disappointed in the help and support for victims after a rape. Not only was I not able to visit a supposed '24 hour' centre, the Whitechapel Haven, due to the nurse not wanting to come in, but also in my time of need directed to a high street pharmacist rather than seeing someone who is trained.
I rang a helpline a short while after it happened, once I felt ready to speak about it and was over the phone put through a series of humiliating questions, that I was not comfortable answering over the phone including "what makes you think you have been raped".
