and a training for trainers course about working with young women
who have experienced sexual abuse or coercion; Glasgow Rape Crisis
Centre running a project to support women in prostitution who experience
rape or sexual assault and working with other organisations to set
up a new support group for Asian women survivors of child sexual

planning a new initiative to train community volunteers from around
the city to help increase public awareness about WRASAC and the services
