These are the most prominent and well rounded sites I
have found. If you are only going to visit one or two
sites for an overview I would recommend one of the
following:
The
premier source of information and support to survivors on the
internet serving nearly 1 million hits yearly through it's
page and message views in the chat rooms, forums and of
course, the main site itself.
The
Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) is the
nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization. RAINN
created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline at
1.800.656.HOPE. RAINN also publicizes the hotline's free,
confidential services; educates the public about sexual
assault; and leads national efforts to improve services to
victims and ensure that rapists are brought to justice.
This site is the most well known national rape crisis hotline
available today. It was founded by Tori Amos.
Local rape crisis centers can be found at this
location.
An
Abuse, Rape & Domestic Violence Aid & Resource
Collection Web site, which provides statistics and current
events as well as other useful information about sexual
assault.
“Welcome to Barbados* is a Tori Amos inspired site for

triggering; please stay safe while exploring this site, and I

rape and sexual assault. International scope.
This
site has great links and is an excellent supplement for
research or presentations on rape crisis
resources.
"Cambridge Documentary Films produced the
documentary, "Rape is…," as one part of the global effort to
stop rape in all of its complex forms, and to bring an end to
a human rights outrage that directly threatens millions of
women, children and men throughout the world."
This
site takes you to a search engine for webrings. Just
