The text of the motion is below:
'EDM 1604
COVENTRY RAPE AND SEXUAL ABUSE CENTRE08.06.2009
Cunningham, Jim
That this House commends the work of Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre,
The Rape Crisis Network and the 38 groups in England and Wales that it acts
as an umbrella organisation for, which support victims of rape, sexual
abuse, sexual violence and incest; acknowledges the selfless dedication of
the workforce of such organisations, who are often volunteers; further
acknowledges the challenge these groups face in attaining sustainable
funding for their work; and calls on all areas and levels of Government to
work together to ensure the Rape Crisis Network and the organisations it
supports have the financial backing needed.'
