Centre treats a rape victim every day
Figures released by the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC) show that since the start of this month, the Rotunda Hospital’s Sex Assault Treatment Unit (SATU) has been inundated with people suffering from the aftermath of rape or sexual abuse.
Between August 1 and August 27, a total of 27 women were accompanied by gardaí or DRCC volunteers to the centre to receive specialist care, including Leaving Certificate students, tourists and people who had attended summer festival events.
