The Rape Crisis Centre was active in raising community awareness and initiating social action. Anyone can be raped or sexually assaulted, but most rapes and sexual assaults are committed by men against women, children and men. There are never any excuses for sexual violence. Rape and sexual assault have social, emotional, health, legal, economic and political consequences for both the individual and society. Sexual violence reflects inequalities particularly between men and women and between adults and children.
Recovery following sexual assault is possible.
People who have been raped or sexually assaulted have the right to quality care.
