Shetland Rape Crisis, provides free and confidential information, support, and advocacy to any non-abusive person in Shetland of any gender (age 13+) who has been affected by sexual violence at any time in their life. We also deliver free sexual violence prevention education in all secondary schools in Shetland, as well as facilitating a young people’s volunteer group, which organises awareness-raising campaigns and fundraising events. We undertake campaigns and community events to educate on the prevalence of sexual violence and highlight ways to prevent it, and we take part in partnership work with strategic partners - the local authority, health, and third sectors - advocating for the inclusion of concerns relating to sexual and gender-based violence in Shetland.
