What is the age profile of the women who attend for counselling? I know the witnesses have already said that they work with women who have already had children and those who have not. Roughly what is the proportion of women with existing families and those without? I know the IFPA deals with rape situations as well. To what extent does that continue to be a feature of the people the IFPA counsels, and of their age profile?
