Rape Crisis Midwest have launched one incredibly powerful video to help increase awareness of facilities and raise much-needed funds to keep their centres open.
'What Happens Next Matters' was created by award-winning production company Cashmere Media for Rape Crisis Midwest, a member if Rape Crisis Network Ireland.
"We are delighted to be launching this powerful and hard hitting video. We hope it begins a new conversation about sexual violence," Miriam Duffy, RCM director said.
"Most people who are raped already know the person who raped them and have some sort of relationship with them. Survivors are never to blame. This is why what happens next matters.
"Here at Rape Crisis Midwest we offer a safe and supportive space for survivors and those impacted by sexual violence to get the information and help they need, but we rely on the support of the community to meet the demand. Everyone deserves support and the chance to heal".
As stated above, some people may find the content in this video upsetting.
