CORONA VIRUS
Sexual harassment, abuse, and assault do not end during a crisis. We continue to provide services to all survivors and their loved ones during the pandemic. As a committed public partner, the health and safety of our programme’s clients, volunteers, and employees are paramount.
Partners with a network of rape support are limiting in-person services, but all remain available to continue providing free and confidential services to support those that need it through telephone and technology platforms.
We encourage anyone in need of help to contact their local rape crisis centre, the numbers and helpline are in the local and national directories. These centres have expert staff available to the public to help answer questions and coordinate any services that may be needed based on the individual’s choices. Some programmes are able to provide video conferencing depending on technology access and client preference.
