Rosemary Whyte, who co-founded the country’s first centre in Glasgow in 1978, hailed the “brave and principled” decision by Glasgow and Clyde Rape Crisis (GCRC) to return to single-sex support.
A woman who helped create Scotland’s rape crisis movement is urging 16 other centres to follow Glasgow ’s lead by restoring single sex services for traumatised female assault victims. Rosemary Whyte, who co-founded the country’s first centre in Glasgow in 1978, hailed the “brave and principled” decision by Glasgow and Clyde Rape Crisis to return to single sex support.
Ms Whyte said the move marked a long-overdue return to the founding principle of rape crisis centres being “run by women for women” and called on Scotland’s other 16 centres currently affiliated to RCS to follow suit.
