Description

The Durham Rape Crisis Centre is a feminist organization that believes in the equality of all people regardless of race class sexual orientation or gender

We are committed to taking an active role in our community to end all forms of violence against women and children

As a Rape Crisis Centre we work with and provide support services to recent as well as historical or childhood survivors of sexual assault sexual harassment and childhood sexual abuse and their families
