Everyone's Invited is an anti-rape movement organisation based in the United Kingdom, focused on exposing rape culture through "conversation, education and support." It was founded in June 2020 by Soma Sara, and allows survivors of rape culture to share their stories through testimonies shared anonymously on their website and Instagram profile.
History
In June 2020, after watching the BBC television series I May Destroy You (2020), Soma Sara began sharing her personal experiences of rape culture via social media platform Instagram.{{Cite web|last=Good|first=Georgia|date=8 September 2020|title=Interview: Everyone's Invited|url=http://www.savageonline.co.uk/thoughts/interview-everyones-invited/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210313171018/http://www.savageonline.co.uk/thoughts/interview-everyones-invited/|archive-date=13 March 2021|access-date=13 March 2021|website=Savage Online}} In response, she received messages from people who could relate to her experiences and those who shared their own experiences of misogyny, harassment, sexual abuse and sexual assault.{{Cite web|title=About|url=https://www.everyonesinvited.uk/about|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210313103404/https://www.everyonesinvited.uk/about|archive-date=13 March 2021|access-date=13 March 2021|website=Everyone's Invited}} Within a week, she had received and shared over 300 anonymous responses.

Sara says that sex education in schools is the "root of the problem", and that a more comprehensive programme is needed. She also believes that most of the behaviours are internalised and is against cancel culture, saying that she believes the movement can not be "weaponise[d]" with it and that it is "counter-productive".
The Instagram campaign encourages victims, mostly in schools, to share their experiences of rape culture, sexual harassment, slut-shaming, coercion into sex or sharing of nude photographs and more, anonymously, in what the organisation calls "testimony".{{Cite news|last=Thomson|first=Alice|date=13 March 2021|title=Soma Sara: 'Teenage sexual abuse didn't merely exist when I was at school, it thrived'|work=The Times|url=https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/sex-relationships/article/soma-sara-teenage-sexual-abuse-didnt-merely-exist-when-i-was-at-school-it-thrived-f3lbdkq22|url-status=live|url-access=subscription|access-date=13 March 2021|archive-date=13 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210313052848/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/soma-sara-teenage-sexual-abuse-didnt-merely-exist-when-i-was-at-school-it-thrived-f3lbdkq22}}{{Cite web|title=Submit Testimony|url=https://www.everyonesinvited.uk/submit-testimony|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210313162924/https://www.everyonesinvited.uk/submit-testimony|archive-date=13 March 2021|access-date=13 March 2021|website=Everyone's Invited}}{{Cite web|last=Ellison|first=Jo|date=19 March 2021|title=Women will always walk alone|url=https://www.ft.com/content/91e11a6c-cc73-47e2-89d3-886dfc1bb217|url-access=subscription|url-status=live|access-date=21 March 2021|website=Financial Times|archive-date=21 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210321054835/https://www.ft.com/content/91e11a6c-cc73-47e2-89d3-886dfc1bb217}} In March 2021, following the death of Sarah Everard,{{Cite web|last=Topping|first=Alexandra|date=27 March 2021|title='Moment of reckoning' for UK schools as 5,800 accounts of abuse published|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/mar/27/moment-of-reckoning-for-uk-schools-as-5800-accounts-of-abuse-published|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210327163908/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/mar/27/moment-of-reckoning-for-uk-schools-as-5800-accounts-of-abuse-published|archive-date=27 March 2021|access-date=28 March 2021|website=The Guardian}} these testimonies saw a rise in popularity, going "viral".

Scotland Yard's rape and sexual offences lead Detective Superintendent Mel Laremore told BBC Radio 4 that the issue is a "national" one, adding that she thinks "it is more widespread than private schools."
Chief Constable Simon Bailey, who is also the National Police Chiefs' Council lead on child protection, said that "this is the next scandal" within schools. He also said "I think schools are quite frankly struggling with the sheer scale of this", and that it's not right that girls are "having to run the gauntlet of sexual harassment, misogyny, the sending of nudes, unsolicited or indecent images being sent to them."

In June 2021 Ofsted released its rapid report on sexual abuse in schools and colleges. It conducted interviews with over 900 children and young people and staff in 32 schools and colleges in England. It said that sexual harassment has become "normalised" among school-age children, with nine in 10 girls having experienced sexist name-calling or were sent explicit photos or videos. It also said that more than two-thirds of girls said they endured unwanted touching "a lot" or "sometimes", while eight in 10 said they had been put under pressure to share sexual images of themselves. The report said that students often do not see the point of reporting abuse and many teachers underestimate the scale of these problems.{{Cite web|title=Review of sexual abuse in schools and colleges|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/review-of-sexual-abuse-in-schools-and-colleges/review-of-sexual-abuse-in-schools-and-colleges|access-date=2021-06-10|website=GOV.UK|language=en}}
