The Women's Centre Cornwall

Who we are

The Women’s Centre Cornwall was originally set up as The Women’s Rape & Sexual Abuse Centre (WRSAC) in 1996. It was created and continues to be run by women, many of which have lived experience of sexual and domestic abuse. 

We are a member of Rape Crisis England & Wales and meet The Rape Crisis National Service Standards: ‘independent, community-based and work from a trauma-informed perspective to provide confidential, specialist services to victims and survivors of all forms of sexual violence and abuse’. 

Our work with survivors of sexual and domestic violence is our core specialism as we believe that there can be no real gender equality without a complete cessation of violence against women. In addition, we provide community-based activities across Cornwall and support women ex-offenders across Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and HMP Eastwood Park in Gloucestershire.
