Calls to Rape Crisis Center‘s (RCC’s) 24-hour crisis line jumped 26% last year, to nearly 2,300. Volunteers and staff provide support to an average of nearly 200 callers each month.
In addition, RCC advocates accompanied victims 400 accompaniments at the hospital, police station or courtroom nearly 400 times last year – an increase from the average of 350 we’ve seen in previous years. Having someone to provide support, information and resources can dramatically improve a victim’s experience interacting with medical and legal systems.
