DRCC's 24 hour helpline number is:1800 77 88 88
The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre says Covid-19 restrictions caused further anxiety for victims of sexual violence.
The DRCC publishes its 2020 annual report today, which shows the negative impact that lockdown restrictions had on people living in abusive situations.
Overall, calls to the centre's helpline were down 5 percent on 2019, but webchat and social media contacts were high.
Noeline Blackwell, Chief Executive of Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, says lockdown restrictions made everyday life for victims even more difficult
