Ottawa Rape Crisis Centre

The Ottawa Rape Crisis Centre (ORCC) is a Canadian organization working to end all forms of sexual violence.

[3] The Ottawa Rape Crisis Centre is mandated to provide services to women who are 16 years of age or older.

Counselling services are also available to friends, family members and partners who are supporting a woman who has experienced sexual assault.

A variety of programs and projects are also ongoing, such as work with incarcerated women at the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre,[4] the highly successful Girls Chat program[5] for young women with immigrant and refugee backgrounds which operates within local high schools,[6] and the Safe City website with interactive opportunities for youth.

Prior to this there were no organizations within the Ottawa community offering services to women who had experienced sexual assault.
