Rape Crisis England & Wales

RCN 1155140, Leeds

We are a feminist membership organisation that supports the work of Rape Crisis Centres across England and Wales. We exist to improve services and promote the needs and rights of women and girls who have experienced sexual abuse, rape and all forms of sexual violence. We also work towards the elimination of sexual violence and abuse, raising awareness in the wider community and with government.

Rape Crisis England & Wales

Rape Crisis England & Wales vision is to end sexual violence in all forms. 

Our mission is to ensure there is readily accessible support for victims and survivors of sexual violence.

We can assure that any donation you make will be put to good use in our work:

- Supporting victims and survivors. We provide crucial information, signpost to local services, and run our national online Live Chat Helpline.

- Challenging the system. We tell the government and criminal justice system about the needs and rights and victims and survivors. We make sure their voices are heard.

- Dispelling rape myths and oppose rape culture. We want everyone to know that sexual violence is always the fault of the perpetrator.

- Driving excellence.  Our National Service Standards mean that our network of 39 Rape Crisis Centres delivers specialist, trauma-informed services that meet the needs of victims and survivors.
