About the OCRCC

The objective of the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres is to work for the prevention and eradication of sexual assault, including rape. The Coalition works to implement legal Social and attitudinal changes. In order for women of this country to acquire the power necessary to bring about such changes, they must organize their collective strengths in the anti-sexual assault movement. Through united action, the Ontario Coalition can achieve more than individuals and individual groups. However, the Coalition is itself the collective efforts of the individuals and groups involved. The Coalition in no way substitutes for the work of autonomous Rape Crisis Centres and actively encourages growth and development of new centres. It will provide a mechanism for communication, education and mobilization to alleviate the political and geographical isolation of all centres in Ontario.
