Rape Crisis Centre "To use a picture like that where it seems like the woman is being objectified doesn't fit. I think it's inappropriate and it is at variance with what they're trying to do. If you want to say that VIP Taxis are safe, that anyone driving has been vetted and is kosher,, then why not just say that? Let VIP Taxis tell us that. But I don't see the point of it." She stressed that one of the common myths about rape or sexual assault is that it is linked to how the woman is dressed. "One of the things we say is it doesn't matter how a person is dressed. I can see what (VIP Taxis) are doing. "They're trying to redress the attitude of, "look at how she's dressed, she was asking for it. "That's one of the myths, that how a person is dressed, that they're asking to be raped or sexually assaulted." Liz O'Callaghan, one of the directors of VIP Taxis defended the ad. She said that Georgia is wearing fashionable clothing and she catches the eye. "Georgia is a customer of VIP Taxis. She had always rang VIP for her own taxis and we decided to ring up her agency and do the launch with her since she's a customer. "I just thought, she's gorgeous, and she feels safe with us. I wanted people to read about what the taxi company stands for, and Georgia would attract the eye." She admitted that she did receive negative feedback about the advertisement. Ms O'Callaghan said the company ran a fundraiser for One in Four, a support group for people who have suffered sexual abuse, last week and she stressed that girls should be allowed to dress as they want. "Personally I think we should be able to wear whatever we want, it doesn't mean we're asking for trouble. From a female point of view, you can't say that a girl got raped because she was asking for it, look at what she's wearing. "This year's fashion is short skirts and the girls look beautiful and they should never feel afraid to get into a taxi because the driver is looking at them."
