INTRODUCTION TO GLASGOW AND CLYDE RAPE CRISIS (GCRC) HISTORY In 1976 a group of women in Glasgow came together to form a Rape Crisis Centre. This Centre would be the first in Scotland and remains the longest operational Rape Crisis Centre in the United Kingdom. Support services for women survivors of male violence were being opened across the UK as part of a grassroots movement of women who were determined to speak out against this violence, to challenge the myths that surrounded women’s experiences of male abuse and the stigma that they experienced.

Rape Crisis in Glasgow now offers a wide range of services to survivors, their partners, family members and carers. We are creative in developing our services so that as many women and girls can find support that is accessible, relevant and appropriate to their needs.

We also have created interactive prevention educational workshops for young people and skill-focused training for anyone who wants to learn more and tackle sexual violence on our side.

OUR VISION A society where women and girls are equal and free from all forms of sexual violence.

OUR MISSION Glasgow & Clyde Rape Crisis exists to support and empower survivors, seek justice, reduce the impact of sexual violence, challenge oppression and identify barriers to equality.

OUR OPERATING PRINCIPLES Glasgow & Clyde Rape Crisis operates on feminist principles and has a gender-based definition of sexual violence. This means sexual violence is viewed as an expression of power and exerted control by men.

We offer women-centred and survivor-focused services.

We do not refer to women as victims, but instead as survivors.

We believe women.

PREVENTION, EDUCATION AND TRAINING WHAT WE OFFER AND WHY We recognise the importance of trauma-informed, skills-practice-focused training for both young people and members of staff (academic and community-led institutions, organisations and the like).

Through education and prevention training, we promote social norms that protect women and girls against violence and teach skills to prevent or challenge sexual violence. We also provide opportunities to empower and support girls and women, creating secure environments that do not condone but challenge gender inequalities such as gender-based violence.

All of this is underpinned by our Centre's Strategic Objectives: To contribute to the prevention of sexual violence and the ability of survivors to disclose their experiences safely.

To campaign for social change that tackles the sexual inequality women and girls experience.

CONSULTANCY

10. GBV Facilitated Consultancy Support

GBV can often be perpetrated in workplaces which will effect staff productivity, safety and morale. As experts in GBV we are often asked to facilitate discussions with staff around how they feel about behaviours in their workplace, how they are managed by senior staff and what changes they would like to see. At times it helps to discuss these feelings and emotions to create a better, healthier and safer workplace for all.

Engagement with GCRC will result in a full independent report.

Who is it for: any CEO/manager who feels their organisation would benefit from having facilitated talks around issues of GBV in the workplace.

Delivery: in-person Timeframe: to be negotiated depending on needs Cost: are to be negotiated depending on organisation and specific needs.
