Fife Rape and Sexual Assault Centre (FRASAC) is an independent voluntary organisation which offers a range of free and confidential support services to anyone aged 12+ who has been affected by rape, sexual assault or commercial sexual exploitation.
Within these services FRASAC provides a women only space, if and when requested and in line with the Equality Act 2010: A Woman’s right to single-sex spaces and services. Women only spaces can only be accessed by women born biologically female.
FRASAC staff and volunteers will be predominantly women. Referral routes will be managed by women, ensuring any contact made by service users will be responded to by a woman until an information session has been provided to clarify the service user’s needs. The FRASAC board of directors (BOD) will be predominantly women with all office bearers’ posts being held by women.
FRASAC has been offering frontline services to survivors in Fife since 2003.
We offer support to people aged 12+ , regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, transgender identity, age, disability, and religious and cultural background. We also deliver a series of prevention workshops in schools and community settings and provide training for professionals.

FRASAC is committed to challenging gender-based violence and recognises that sexual violence is both a cause and consequence of gender inequality in our society.
FRASAC recognises a significant number of men and boys also experience sexual violence and are committed to ensuring that services are available and accessible to them.
Fair Work First
Fair Work First is the Scottish Government’s flagship policy for driving high quality and fair work, and workforce diversity across the labour market in Scotland by applying fair work criteria to grants, other funding and public contracts being awarded by and across the public sector, where it is relevant to do so. Through this approach the Scottish Government is supporting employers who adopt fair working practices.
