Galway Rape Crisis Centre

The Galway Rape Crisis Centre was founded in 1984 by a group of women in the Galway community who were concerned about the lack of services for survivors of sexual abuse and rape. The response to sexual violence and abuse arose largely out of the feminist movement in the eighties, where women got together in groups and many disclosed their traumatic experiences.

For fifteen years Galway Rape Crisis Centre was the only organisation in Galway providing such support services. Initially all services were run on a voluntary basis, until, in the late eighties, grants were secured from the Health Board funding a certain amount of paid hours.

Vision

GRCC’s vision is to lessen the impact and incidence of sexual violence and abuse and to achieve a society which no longer tolerates these crimes.

Mission

GRCC is dedicated to providing a professional, caring and confidential counselling and support service for those in our community affected by sexual abuse and sexual violence.

We also work towards ending cultural and societal tolerance of sexual violence through advocacy, awareness raising and education programmes.
