Substance-facilitated sexual violence is intentional, harmful, and never the survivor’s fault. Understanding how it happens, especially during the festive season, can help challenge harmful myths and ensure survivors are believed and supported.

If you can’t speak to anyone, you can still speak to us this festive season. Our offices are closing today for a well-deserved break, but our support for survivors continues throughout the holidays.
Our 24-hour helpline and the Thuthuzela Care Centres remain fully accessible, day and night. You are never alone and help is always within reach.

This International Human Rights Day, we’re reminded that safety, dignity and justice are basic human rights and not privileges.
For years, our advocacy team has fought for these rights through our R**e Survivors’ Justice Campaign. The Work of Justice podcast tells that story: how this campaign was built, what we’ve learned, and why survivor rights still need defending.

Safety should never be something survivors have to earn, negotiate, or fight for. Safety is a right, not a privilege. Every survivor deserves to live without fear, judgement, or barriers. Let’s work together to make safety the standard in every home, workplace, and community.

Established in 1976, the R**e Crisis Cape Town Trust is the oldest organisation in South Africa supporting the recovery of survivors, seeking justice and making change in communities.
We have a vision of a South Africa in which women are safe in their communities, and where the criminal justice system supports and empowers r**e survivors.
Our goal is to reduce the trauma experienced by r**e survivors including the secondary trauma they experience when reporting r**e to officials.
We aim to reduce the trauma experienced by survivors and encourage them to report r**e. We support communities in challenging high r**e rates and flaws in the criminal justice system.
