Rape Crisis England & Wales: 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line

If you have experienced sexual violence, abuse or harassment at any time in your life, you can talk to a specialist who will listen and reassure you it was not your fault. You can call or use a free online chat.

Good to know

The call is free. Anyone of any gender, aged 16 or over, living in England or Wales can use it, even if you are not sure what happened. It is not an emergency service: if you feel unsafe or need urgent medical help, call 999.

We list this organization because it is a national service for the need on this page. We’re not affiliated with it, and we don’t speak for it. Last checked October 3, 2026: we opened its own site and confirmed this link and number. We don’t call the lines, and hours can change — their site has the latest.

Heavy moment? Call Samaritans on 116 123 — or we’re here.
