The FEM Project – Tampon Tax Funding

We are delighted to be awarded funding from the Tampon Tax Fund for The FEM Project – which is a partnership pilot project between Edinburgh, Moray and Forth Valley Rape Crisis.

The FEM Project will pilot a cross-region approach to increasing accessibility and inclusivity of rape crisis support for survivors of sexual violence with learning difficulties and/or from black and minority ethnic communities.

This funding provides us with a unique opportunity to collaborate together to reduce the barriers that sexual violence survivors from some marginalised communities face in using rape crisis services.

Our hope is that the learning from this pilot will help us in our work to be inclusive of all survivors of sexual violence and play our part in eliminating systemic discrimination and inequality.
