The Roofie Foundation was established 1997 - A specialised agency dealing with the issues surrounding drug rape and sexual abuse. Originators of a help-line that provides a one-stop-shop information service for victims of drug rape & sexual abuse caused through drink spiking.
The Roofie Foundation provides the following services:
- To actively campaign for the recognition of drug rape as a major crime with increased sentencing, and increased police investigation into alleged victim reports.
- To actively campaign for the police to be funded in the provision of medical and forensic testing units in the majority of police stations.
- For the law and judiciary to treat drug rape victims of both sexes in a fairer manner and without prejudice.
- To change the mind of the CPS in their treatment of drug rape victims and their need for statements from the witnesses themselves. Thus eliminating their rejection of cases on the grounds of unreliable witness.
- To increase public awareness of the dangers of drink spiking and sexual abuse
- The continued provision of a 24-hour help line to assist victims of drug related sexual abuse.
- To campaign for a major research into the drugs used and their effects - especially the memory loss aspects and flashback experience.
