Enough movement distributes 10,000 rape evidence kits
Katie White founded the organisation in 2024 to tackle campus rape culture with at-home DNA collection kits.
Incident → evidence → outcomeThe movement Enough, established in 2024 by brand strategist Katie White, has distributed 10,000 self-swabbing kits designed for DNA collection following suspected sexual assault. The organisation offers survivors a method to preserve forensic evidence at home, providing an alternative for those who may not wish to report directly to the police or sexual assault referral centres.
Addressing low conviction rates
White, 30, founded Enough in response to what she described as a 'national emergency'. Official figures from 2021-22 show that of 70,000 reported rapes in England and Wales, only 2,223 resulted in charges. The movement's approach is intended to allow individuals to document evidence discreetly and quickly, enabling them to decide later whether to engage with official channels. Enough encourages survivors to use police or sexual assault referral centres first, but provides its kit as an additional option.
Launch and funding
Enough began its operations at Bristol University, distributing 8,000 kits to students. The initiative involved collaborations with bars, clubs, and sports teams to raise awareness and encourage participation. In its initial year, the organisation operated on £150,000 in philanthropic funding, with the stated aim of becoming self-sustaining after demonstrating its model. White, who worked unpaid for two years, recently began drawing a salary.
Reception and future ambitions
While Enough has distributed a total of 10,000 kits, including those available free online with 24-hour delivery, its model has faced some opposition. Organisations like Victim Support and certain rape charities have expressed concerns that self-swabbing kits might be perceived as a substitute for attending a sexual assault referral centre, and have raised questions about potential conviction rates. White maintains the value of the kits as an 'option three' and has ambitions for Enough's expansion, acknowledging the challenges non-profits face in fundraising compared to for-profit entities.
