Pandora's Aquarium International Resources Lists -

WomensLaw.org
The Mission of this US site is to provide easy-to-understand legal information to women living with or escaping domestic violence
Links to chats and message boards - "Please keep safety in mind as you are using these resources. Only some of them are moderated and screened. Many of the message and discussion boards can be accessed by anyone on the Internet. Never post your real name or contact information to a chatroom or message board. If a resource requires that you choose a username, pick a name that does not include your real name. If you have to sign up using your email address, be sure to use a safe email address. It is also best to use a computer your abuser does not have access to. For more information, visit our Internet Security page." -

The Rape Crisis Information Pathfinder
"This website has information on how to heal from the trauma of rape and sexual assault". Pixie (username at Pandora's Aquarium) has collected a very comprehensive set of information and links here -
http://www.ibiblio.org/rcip/
The collection has a lot of very useful information (too much to cover here!) including
"How to Help a Survivor" - http://www.ibiblio.org/rcip//helpasurvivor.html
"Partners of Survivors" - http://www.ibiblio.org/rcip//partners.html
Which include links to very useful information (too many to list here - well worth a visit)
and information about how to find and use "Rape Crisis Message Boards" (there are many different kinds of boards described here, it's a very useful page in my opinion - LGBT stands for "lesbian gay bi transsexual", the extra q is for queer, there are separate pages with more information and links to support groups specifically for lesbian, gay, bi and transsexual survivors, and for male survivors of sexual violence, including violence by female perpetrators - it really is a very comprehensive site) -
http://www.ibiblio.org/rcip/rcmsgboards.html
There are some broken links - Lesbian Partners of Survivors, After the Silence, Dancing in the Dark
I haven't tried to copy all the information and resources links - there are too many. But the site is very thorough and well worth checking out as a first port of call when you're looking for any kind of information, resources or links.
