Rape Crisis Scotland helpline (5pm-midnight)

Rape or Sexual Assault

If you have recently been raped or sexually assaulted please see our information page here.

You may wish to report something to the Police that happened a long time ago. It doesn’t matter if it happened decades ago, you can still report to the Police and they will investigate. There may not be any forensic evidence but the Police can sometimes find other kinds of evidence, you can call Police Scotland on 101 to talk to an officer about this.

The Scottish Government have produced an information pack for women and men (over 16) who have been raped or sexually assaulted which you can read here.

Rape and sexual abuse changes lives – and so do we. As a charity we're very grateful to receive your support, which helps us to continue to provide our vital work. Donations go directly towards the costs of delivering all our support and information services.

You can also support our work by:
