The guide has been created by the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.

A guide offering detailed information to victims and survivors of sexual violence will be launched this morning.

'Finding your way after sexual violence' outlines how to access medical treatment after rape or sexual assault.

It also shows how to report to An Garda Síochána and navigate the courts process.

Created by Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, there is guidance for those who are supporting friends or loved ones affected by sexual violence.

It draws on the real-life experiences of other survivors, as well as frontline service providers and support agencies.

Noeline Blackwell , CEO, Dublin Rape Crisis Centre joined Eoin Beatty on Monday's Kildare Today, listen back to the full interview here:
