Here at RASAC PK, our Advocacy Team work to support survivors throughout their justice journey.⚖ 💜True or False Facts... ⚖Justice Advocacy Workers supporting survivors of sexual violence in Scotland are employed by Police Scotland. ⭐False: RASAC PK is an independent charity providing person-centred support to survivors, and this includes our advocacy service. ⚖Survivors don’t have to report what happened to them in a police station, and an advocacy worker can stay while they are interviewed. ⭐True: Advocacy workers can arrange for you to report here at the centre in one of our support rooms, which are designed to feel homely and comfortable. They can stay with you throughout the justice process, from being there when you speak to police to supporting you at court. ⚖Sexual violence happens less often now in Scotland than it used to. ⭐False: There was a 15% rise in the number of rapes and attempted rapes recorded in Scotland last year. Rape and attempted rape reports increased from 2,522 in 2023-24 to 2,897 in 2024-25, up 60% for the same figures 10 years ago. Many choose not to report, so are not included in these figures. ⚖The biggest increase in reported rapes in Scotland is happening in cities, not in rural areas. ⭐False: Sexual violence happens everywhere, including rural areas. In 2024, Police Scotland statistics show Moray had the highest rate of recorded sexual assaults, per head of population, in Scotland. ⚖RASAC PK’s advocacy service supports survivors with a range of issues, not just criminal justice. ⭐True: At RASAC PK, we recognise that survivors don’t just need advocacy during their criminal justice journey. Sexual violence can have a ripple affect on a survivor’s life, affecting everything from healthcare to housing, and our advocacy team can support and signpost you through this where necessary. #rasacpk #endsexualviolence #consent #perthandkinross #endviolenceagainstwomen #ListenBelieveSupport #worlddayforinternationaljusticeListen, Believe & Support...💜 If you have experienced sexual violence or abuse at any time in your life, we are here for you.

This way survivors can make their own choices in their own time.💜⚖ You might need medical support or more information on what reporting is like, or you might just need some time to make a decision. That is okay, we can support you through this. We understand that the days following a sexual assault can be very difficult and Police reporting may feel overwhelming. SARCS facilitates a forensics examination where evidence is gathered without Police reporting, enabling you to report at a later date if you decide to. You can also be supported with other immediate healthcare needs, such as emergency contraception.
