Our mission is to create a society in which domestic violence and sexual assault no longer exist.
We strive to meet the immediate and long-term needs of the diverse community of survivors and their children with programs that promote safety, compassion, connection, advocacy, and prevention.
Each day we help survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Atlanta improve their safety by finding a secure place to stay, receiving medical and legal advocacy, exercising their rights, exploring options, and creating accountability for those who cause harm. We greet survivors with compassion,no judgment, no second-guessing, and no shame. We provide connection,through relationships built with our staff, support groups, and bonds forged with fellow safe house guests and others walking a similar path. By linking survivors with community supports and offering our services, we make sure no one has to take this walk alone. Equally importantly, we provide a voice for survivors when they cannot speak for themselves and a platform for those who can speak to be heard. Our advocacy for survivors of domestic and sexual violence works to change the culture that allows abuse to thrive. That advocacy, coupled with our powerful work with children and youth, facilitates prevention and brings us closer to ending violence altogether.
Women's Resource Center is committed to providing compassionate, inclusive services to all survivors, honoring the varied experiences of those seeking support.
