Glasgow and Clyde Rape Crisis (GCRC) announced it will no longer be part of the Rape Crisis Scotland (RCS) network, and instead become an independent operator
A rape crisis centre has pulled out of the charity's national network, saying its own approach of providing "single-sex services delivered by an all-female workforce" now puts it "at odds" with Rape Crisis Scotland.
The spokeswoman stressed: "This is not a decision we have taken lightly. We have done so to hold fast to our principles and to best serve the women and girls that need our support. The move comes in the wake of a report criticising Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre's failure to provide women-only spaces as "a significant breach" of the national standards all rape crisis centres have to follow.
The GCRC board spokeswoman said it has been involved in "dialogue with the leadership of RCS to address our concerns, and those of GCRC's management team, regarding the direction and focus of the network under its stewardship". GCRC said every year it supports almost a third of the rape survivors receiving help from the Scottish rape crisis network, with some 2,500 women and girls helped annually.
