Durham Rape Crisis Centre
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 sexual assault centre, we work with and provide support services to recent as well as historical survivors of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and childhood sexual abuse and their families.
