Empower Women
Throughout our development, we have always kept the principle set up by those first women. The services we introduce are always in response to what victims and survivors tell us they need and want and we empower survivors to make their own decisions.
Non Judgemental Support
We do not judge, creating a safe and compassionate space where every survivor is listened to, believed, respected and supported without judgement.
Women-Led & women only spaces
To provide a safe and supportive environment. Our services are for women by women (our services support all genders).
Free services for Survivors
Survivors and victims have a right to access free services.
believe & non directive
We believe what survivors tell us and we do not influence survivors and victims choices.
Our Ethos
Our core ethos revolves around centering support from a trauma-informed feminist perspective, with a primary focus on girls and women. We recognise the reality that the majority of perpetrators of sexual violence are male. As a women's organisation, we stand in solidarity with all survivors, irrespective of gender.
Our commitment to feminist principles means that we prioritise the voices and experiences of those affected by sexual violence. We understand that each survivor's journey is unique, and we strive to develop and introduce services that directly respond to their expressed needs and want.
By amplifying the voices of survivors and advocating for gender equality, we actively work towards a world free from sexual violence and oppression. At SOSRC, our feminist approach informs every aspect of our support services, ensuring that we empower survivors and challenge societal norms that perpetuate violence and in justice.
