The Victim Rights Law Center is the first law center in the nation dedicated solely to advocating for the civil legal needs of sexual assault survivors. **The VRLC provides direct legal representation to victims of rape and sexual assault in Massachusetts**. If you have been raped or sexually assaulted, we believe you have the right to make your own choices about how to respond to what has happened to you. Our goal is to give sexual assault victims information regarding their civil legal needs to reclaim their lives. Please review the VRLC's area of expertise. "The Victim Rights Law Center changed the course of my life. From the person who answers the phone, to the intern who helped me with my Christmas gifts, and of course, to the lawyers who have helped me, you are all amazing. You gave me back control. You gave me back control of my life. You helped me go from victim to victor." //- VRLC Client// "I feel like this is just the beginning. You put me on a path and brought so much of my life together. You helped me make sense of things." //- VRLC Client// "Your genuine kindness and generosity would never be forgotten, it is forever imprinted in my heart. I will remember you and pass this story of miracle along to others, to help uplift their faith." //- VRLC Client// =[|Other Resources]= Boston Area Rape Crisis CenterHotline: 1-800-841-8371Boston and Cambridge North Shore Rape Crisis CenterHotline: 1-800-922-8772; 781-477-2315 TTY Rape Crisis Services of Greater LowellHotline: 1-800-542-5212; 978-452-8723 TTY Rape Crisis Center of Central MassHotline: 1-800-870-5905; 888-887-7130 TTYFitchburg and Worcester YWCA of Western MassHotline: 1-800-796-8711; 413-733-7100 TTY New Hope, Inc.Hotline: 1-800-323-4673 Attleboro A New DayHotline: 508-588-8255; 508-894-2869 TTY Brockton N.E.L.C.W.I.T.Hotline: 413-772-0806 (TTY same)Greenfield Voices Against ViolenceHotline: 1-800-593-1125; 1-508-626-8686 TTYFramingham For state-wide shelter availability, please call **SAFELINK: 877-785-2020** Gay Men’s Domestic Violence ProjectTel. 1-800-832-1901Support@gmdvp.org[|www.gmdvp.org]
