Whether you are living with the abuser or have separated, you will not be judged or told what to do.
If the rape/s happened even years ago and you are just starting to feel the effects now, you can still utilize the services below.

If you are dialling from home be certain to dial another number after you've ended the call so that your abuser cannot press redial to find out who you've called.
