    In May 1981, three young women identified a need for a rape crisis hotline in Jerusalem. Rachel Benzimon, Leesa Fine and Linda Feldman took it upon themselves to create a support system for survivors of rape and sexual violence in the Jerusalem Area, after a monthly ratio of three reports per month to the Jerusalem Police Department.

     

    The center was founded in 1981 as a single phone line with three volunteers and grew to the JRCC of today with 10 staff members, 200 volunteers and a myriad of services.

    Sexual Violence is a social problem that we need to address everyday. 

    Until the age of 12, boys and girls are abused in a ratio of 1:6.

     

    After the age of 12, girls and women are abused in a ratio of 1:3; boys and men are abused in a ration of 1:7.

    ​

    In 87% of abuse cases the abuser is known to the survivor.

    ​

    Approx. 65% of abuse cases took place when the victims were minors.

    ​

    According to the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, in 2012, 40% of women have reported incidents of sexual harassment at the workplace.
