Even in an article about false rape allegations, there's no option for victims of false allegations to get help... only for the women who think they have been raped.

Dianne Whitfield from Rape Crisis England & Wales said this: "There is a difference between 'false accusations' and 'not enough evidence'," said Dianne. "False accusations account for only 5% of all reported cases."

Ms. Whitfield doesn't mention the fact that literally the majority of rape claims fall into that gray hole where no one can say whether it was a rape or a non-rape -- that's the nature of the allegation. She seems to suggest that the 5% is the totality of false claims, and that is dishonest because it suggest that 95% are actual rapes. What she fails to mention is that, for all the claims that law enforcement can state definitively were either rapes or non-rapes (take out the gray claims), the wrongful claims constitute a significant percentage. That's a fact.

It's moved from 2 percent to 5 percent, that must be progress.

A) It does not specify gender, it is for anyone who feels they have been raped.

B) It's standard BBC protocol to link to that in articles about rape.
