Rape Crisis
Women and girls of all ages and backgrounds experience rape and sexual assault, and it can happen at any time in their lives. Because this is usually perpetrated by men they know, women and girls often don’t report due to fear, shame or the feeling that they will be blamed or not believed.Since 1976 the Rape Crisis Centre has been providing free and confidential support to women and girls who have been raped, sexually assaulted or sexually abused, no matter when this has happened in their lives.
We support women whether or not they have reported the incident to the police. This can be because attitudes about rape and sexual assault often blame women and excuse the rapist and this can silence women.
We are based in Glasgow but also offer services to women in Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire and we work in partnership with service providers in Inverclyde. We have outreach services in the east end and south west of Glasgow and in east and west Dunbartonshire.
Our services include telephone support, face to face support, letter and email support, groupwork and links to complimentary therapies.
We have also developed a range of information booklets and leaflets covering issues such as Child Sexual Abuse, Self Harming, Ritual Abuse, Stalking and have a separate booklet on Legal Issues which gives information on procedures around going to court.
