Our Activities
The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel (ARCCI) is the umbrella organization for the nine rape crisis centers across Israel, providing immediate and ongoing support for survivors of sexual violence.
ARCCI leads the national coalition and operates at the systemic and national levels to promote the rights of survivors and to reduce the prevalence of sexual violence.
For over three decades, ARCCI has been actively engaged in decision-making arenas to drive policy changes, improve services and rights for survivors of sexual violence, and reduce the prevalence of the phenomenon.
ARCCI’s legal department initiates and participates in petitions and key legal proceedings that shape legal policy regarding sexual violence. These efforts lead to both normative and practical changes in how the legal system addresses sexual offenses and ensures the protection of survivors’ rights, as well as the interests of society as a whole.

ARCCI leads public discourse on sexual violence with the goal of breaking myths and raising awareness of the issue. Additionally, the organization provides practical guidance in cases of media-covered assaults and supports survivors in safely and respectfully voicing their experiences in the media.
ARCCI spearheads research and data collection on sexual violence in Israel, publishing reports and studies that reflect the current state of sexual violence in society. These resources help inform the public and contribute to shaping policy in the field.
