Rape Crisis England & Wales is the feminist charity working to end child sexual abuse, rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment and all other forms of sexual violence.
We are also the membership organisation for Rape Crisis centres across England and Wales. Together with our 37 member centres, we work to deliver specialist services to those affected by sexual violence and abuse, and aim to educate, influence and make change.
Our vision:
We want a world without sexual violence where all women and girls live safely, freely and with dignity.
Our Mission:
We work for women and girls, in partnership with our member centres, to:
Get help
Whether it happened recently or a long time ago – or you’re not sure what happened – we have lots of information and support that might help. You are not alone.
Not sure where to start?
It can be hard to know what to do next. But, whether it happened recently or in the past – or you’re not sure what happened – we are here for you.
Not sure what happened to you or if it ‘counts’?
This service is for you too.
If something sexual happened to you that you didn’t want or that you didn’t have the freedom and capacity to agree to (maybe because you were unconscious or a child), that is not okay.
All forms of sexual violence, abuse and harassment can have a serious and long-lasting impact on people’s lives.
We will never think you’re wasting our time and we will never judge you.
How can we help you?
Our trained team of specialists are here to listen to you, believe you and answer any questions that you might have.
We can also share information and resources that might help you to:
