Sahyog Trust’s RUDRANI Rape Crisis Centre provides specialist support and services to women and girls who have experienced rape, sexual violence, or sexual abuse at any time. Providing legal aid to women recovering from the mental and physical impact of rape would also be an effort to help the women live with strength, dignity and confidence.

​

Sahyog Trust, in social partnership with MGZ Edutech Pvt Ltd (MyGrowthZone), will provide counseling to survivors. Sahyog Trust is collaborating to provide support to the survivors to overcome their trauma and other negative emotions like anger, guilt, shame or fear. Trauma, if not addressed, can lead to long-term behavioral and physiological implications. Our coaching team is qualified and experienced to help victims rebuild their emotional strength, set positive goals and empower themselves to move on. You can ask a friend to contact the Rape Crisis Centre for you or ask a friend to come with you. The rape survivors will be provided with help, counseling and guidance over telephonic communication via this number: 020-25457222, 25459777.

Please Remember-

​

  • If you decide you might want to report the rape or sexual assault to the police, do not wash until after you have had a medical and forensic examination because important forensic evidence might be washed away.

  • If you were attacked in your mouth, by way of oral sex and you want to report it, don’t eat, drink, smoke or use toothpaste or mouthwash until samples have been taken from your mouth area.

  • Do not throw out or wash underwear or clothes that you were wearing at the time of the assault as these will be needed for forensic examination.

  • If possible please do take some relative or friend with you while medical examination.

  • Remember two finger test is banned as unscientific and against the dignity of woman so you may oppose and say NO to such two finger test. 

Supporting Survivors of Sexual Violence

Safe and trustworthy relationships are the opposite of what happened during the abuse and are very important to a survivor’s recovery. If someone you know has told you that they were abused, it is because they trust you, as they feel close to you and sense that you care for them. Please stand with the victim/ survivor of Rape and give them that trust by being there for them and supporting them.
