A woman conceived through **** who campaigned for nine years to bring her father to justice has won a prestigious award.

The 45-year-old can only be referred to as Daisy to protect the identity of her birth mother, who was **** 46 years ago at the age of 13 by Carvel Bennett, now 74. He was convicted in July 2021 at Birmingham crown court and sentenced to 11 years in jail.

Daisy was awarded the Emma Humphreys memorial prize, which recognises women who make outstanding contributions towards ending male violence. She was announced as the winner on Sunday at conference in Portsmouth for FiLiA – a female-led volunteer organisation working for the liberation of women.

Daisy, who is black, believes that one of the reasons why it took so long to bring Bennett to justice was because of her and her birth mother’s skin colour. Although her birth mother named Bennett after she became pregnant with Daisy after the ****, no action was taken by the authorities to charge him. Daisy, who was adopted as a baby, spent nine years campaigning to get Bennett prosecuted after tracking him down herself.
[...]
Police told Daisy that even though she described herself as “a walking crime scene”, as her DNA evidence confirmed Bennett as her father, it would not be possible to proceed with a case against him without her birth mother providing evidence.
[...]
Daisy is now campaigning for a change in the law so that children conceived through **** can be recognised as secondary victims of the crime along with the primary victim, their mothers.

“There is still so much silence on the issue of **** conception. It appears to be one of the last taboos in relation to violence against women and girls. For those of us who were ****-conceived, it’s a huge struggle to come to terms with your paternity and in turn one’s sense of self and identity. We are left to carry the shame and stigma of the act of violence that created us.”

Mathematically, going back far enough it is nearly certain everyone alive has at least one rapist in their family tree.
