This International Womens Day, we need YOU to show your support for survivors of rape and sexual violence.

1 in 3 women worldwide have been subjected to physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime.

RSVP have worked tirelessly for over 40 years, supporting thousands of survivors across Birmingham and Solihull. Now, we are asking for your help.

From the 8th March 8th April 2023, we will be encouraging as many of you as possible to take part in our International Womens Day campaign.

Be a part of something incredible and help us reach our target of £5,000 by linking your fundraiser to our campaign page. Every penny will go towards our life-changing services.

Everyone has the ability to make a positive change through collective activism and fighting for a good cause so why not get involved?

From bake sales to clothes swaps, games nights to virtual runs, the possibilities are endless when it comes to fundraising! Need some inspiration and have no idea where to begin? Take a look at our new fundraising guide!

89p of every £1 will go directly towards our services, meaning whenever you donate to RSVP you know that you are making a HUGE difference!

This years IWD theme is Embrace Equity. Each one of us can actively support and embrace equity within our own sphere of influence.

Noun: Equity

The quality of being fair and impartial. "equity of treatment"

Equity means creating a fair and equal world.

At RSVP, embrace equity every day by providing specialist, trauma informed services that embrace diversity, inclusion and do not discriminate. Our specialist services have been developed over 40 years and ensure that every survivor that comes to RSVP is given the very best of our services, regardless of their age, gender, race, sexual orientation or background. This includes our adult and children's counselling and ISVA services and specialist support for members of the LGBT+ Community, Refugee and Asylum seekers and sex workers.

Forging gender equity isn't limited to women solely fighting the good fight. Allies are incredibly important for the social, economic, cultural, and political advancement of women.

Join us for this incredible campaign and help us change the lives of survivors this International Womens Day
