Representation

The 15 RCNI member RCCs in Ireland and Northern Ireland provide direct support to hundreds of survivors of sexual violence every year and are the primary resource for RCNI values and expertise. The RCNI draws on those resources to represent the rape crisis sector and the issues of sexual violence on, among others, the National Steering Committee on Violence Against Women, the Regional Advisory Committees on Violence Against Women, and the Commission for the Support of Victims of Crime. This is a powerful way to ensure that the expertise gained from the work with survivors is transmitted into the national arena and utilised by other agencies with a role to play in ending sexual violence.
