Survivors of rape and sexual violence face a lifelong healing journey, one that isn't linear, and often isn't pretty.
They have to live with the impact of sexual violence, a criminal justice system that doesn't always deliver justice, and a recovery from an experience that is still taboo to talk about in the modern world.
At Rape Crisis England & Wales, we dream of a future without sexual violence, where women and girls can live freely and with dignity.
As a charity, we are chronically underfunded but determined to influence and initiate change.
As a movement, we are relentless, and won't stop until all survivors have access to specialist services and a criminal justice system they can trust.
But we can't do this without the kindness of those who support our mission.
Every donation received helps keep this important, and often life-saving, work going.
This is one way to keep their memory alive.
What's an online memorial page and how does it work?
You can celebrate the life of a loved one who's passed away by setting up a tribute page in their memory. This is an online space where you can share and record memories, with the option of collecting donations for a chosen cause.
The website MuchLoved offers a free service to do this.
How to set up an online memorial that collects donations for Rape Crisis England & Wales:
- Follow the steps for creating a tribute page on MuchLoved.
- Select 'Yes' when asked 'Would you like visitors to be able to make donations to a charity or good cause of your choice?'.
- Type 'Rape Crisis' into the search box and select 'Rape Crisis England and Wales' from the drop-down list.
It would truly be our privilege to be part of your loved one's memorial. Thank you.
