Rape and Sexual Violence Project (RSVP) - Birmingham

We offer support to women, children and men affected by sexual violence and abuse.

Our confidential services are delivered with compassion. We’re here to offer you the tools, and understanding, to enable you to overcome the effects of sexual violence.

If you have been affected by sexual violence, you can access our free services.

Services include:

• Specialist sexual violence counselling to survivors and their supporters.
• Independent sexual violence advocates (ISVA) who provide advice and practical support to adults and children going through, or considering going through, the criminal justice system.
• Social groups that enable survivors to socialise safely and feel less isolated.
• Telephone helpline service offering support and information to survivors.
• Written self-help information on how to overcome the effects of sexual violence and abuse.
• Visual evidence for victims (VEV), a service that enables us to photograph injuries (or criminal damage) caused as a result of crime. These can be used as evidence if a crime is later reported to the police.
• Specialist support for Asylum Seekers and Refugees
