Abstract
This booklet was produced in 1977 by the Victoria Rape Relief Society, with funds from the Local Initiatives Program of the federal government. The booklet was written over 6 months by volunteers and staff at the Victoria Rape/Assault Centre.
Description
The Victoria Rape/Assault Centre [also called the Rape Relief Centre] was established by a group of women in 1975. It was a self-funded collective to provide rape crisis advocacy in order to help women establish and increase control over their lives, to inquire into the causes of sexual violence, to raise awareness that rape, including date rape, and assault, including "Peeping Tom" behaviour, were serious crimes.
