About

Vision ‘Until we have a world free of sexual violence, we act in solidarity with survivors’. Purpose Originally established in 1978, ERCC’s charitable objectives are: • To relieve the distress of women, men, boys, girls and non-binary people aged over 12 years who have been raped or who have experienced sexual violence and of their partners, friends and families through the provision of emotional and practical support, information, advice and advocacy. and, • To advance education, through the provision of information, advice and advocacy, among professional bodies and the general public about the causes, nature, extent and effects of rape and sexual violence against women, men, boys and girls aged over 12 years, and ways of preventing or relieving the suffering it causes.
