Rape Crisis: Regional Network EastCrisis Centres in the East of England
Rape Crisis
www.rapecrisis.org.uk
Rape Crisis groups within the Eastern Region vary in their shape and size so sometimes finding a centre that is in your area may be difficult. Rape Crisis offers a safe environment where women and girls can talk freely without being judged. The majority of Rape Crisis groups provide a telephone helpline service for women and girls who are survivors of rape, child sexual abuse, sexual harassment or any form of sexual violence. You can contact any of the help lines to talk to someone and they will support you in finding out what is available in your area. CambridgeshireCambridge Rape Crisis Centre (CRCC)Women and girls only
