Italian term or phrase: centri antiviolenza
not exactly "rape crisis centres", as they deal with all sorts of episodes of violence against women.

I was thinking of "women's aid centres" but I'm not so sure... My brain has left me to finish this work on my own and I need your help. Thanks

Explanation:
"women's aid centres" is also good, although in the UK it does tend to refer to a particular organisation. The UN often uses "women's crisis centres"
