For over 50 years, DCRCC has offered free, confidential, trauma-informed counseling and case management to survivors of sexual violence and their friends, family, and partners. Trained advocates provide 24/7 crisis intervention, counseling, advocacy, and referrals through its hotline, and in hospitals and survivors’ homes. A Rapid Emotional Support Team coordinates crisis response while community educators proactively elevate public awareness of rape culture and how to reduce the risk of sexual violence through training in schools, community centers, and faith spaces. As the oldest rape crisis center in the country and the only one in DC, DCRCC has further evolved its training to assist in opening the first rape crisis center in Lagos, Nigeria, and to collaborate on the first rape crisis mobile app for refugee workers – all to create a world free from sexual violence.
