The Manawatu Rape & Sexual Abuse Centre (MRSAC) has been supporting women, children and men who have experienced sexual violence for the past twenty years. Originally we were Palmerston North Rape Crisis but we decided to change our name in 2000 to reflect the changing focus of our agency - we wanted to be more pro-active and focus on prevention as well as supporting survivors within the whole of the Manawatu - and to incorporate the fact that sexual violence includes many types of abuse, not just rape. Many people do not contact us immediately when they are in 'crisis', but may wait many years until it is the right time for them to talk and get support for what happened to them. Our prevention services include going into High Schools within the Manawatu and talking to students about Date Rape and how to prevent it from happening to them. For the past five years, MRSAC has also run a court-approved children's programme - VOYAGE (Valuing Ourselves, Youth Activities, Group, Education) - that supports the whole family/whanau who have witnessed or experienced any form of abuse.
