Bay Area Women Against Rape (BAWAR) is a pioneering organization that has been at the forefront of supporting survivors of sexual violence since its establishment in 1971. With a commitment to providing quality counseling, advocacy, and community education, BAWAR serves individuals of all genders affected by sexual violence, believing and validating their experiences in a trauma-informed and culturally appropriate manner.
As the first rape crisis center in the country, BAWAR has been instrumental in creating a safe space for survivors to seek help and healing. Through their confidential and free services, including a 24-hour hotline in both English and Spanish, BAWAR offers support to survivors, their loved ones, and the community at large. With a strong emphasis on volunteer advocacy and community donations, BAWAR continues to make a lasting impact in the fight against sexual violence.
