| dc.description | The Galway Rape Crisis Centre provides a quality counselling and support service for survivors of sexual violence and abuse. Through its lobbying and education work the Centre also works towards an end to cultural and societal tolerance of these issues. Founded in 1984 GRCC, and the services provided by the organisation, has grown to become the second largest member of the Rape Crisis Network Ireland (RCNI). In recent years, a new type of requirement was identified, namely the increasing need to pro 1 :vide counselling services for asylum seekers. From 2002, asylum seekers and refugees were being referred to GRCC for counselling and support in relation to sexual violence they had experienced,. usually in their country of origin. The Centre provided this service for some time on an 'as-required' basis. However, by 2004, it became clear that a more formalised approach was needed to cope with increasing demand. In order to establish a targeted and specialised service, GRCC made a decision to establish a dedicated Asylum Seeker and Refugee Clinic with secured funding from the Dormant Accounts Fund. There were two main aims of this clinic - to provide counselling and support and to create awareness of, and information about, the issue of sexual violence among these two groups. | en |
