​​The Houston Area Women’s Center works to end domestic and sexual violence and supports all in building safe and healthy lives through advocacy, counseling, education, shelter and support services.
 
The Houston Area Women’s Center’s Crisis Hotlines are available to survivors and their families seeking information and assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hotline staff and volunteers are always there to help.

In 2017, the Center received a staggering 33,692 domestic violence and 3,664 sexual assault calls. 

Every year, more than 80,000 adults, children and families turn to the Houston Area Women’s Center for help rebuilding lives torn apart by violence. We are deeply grateful for the generosity of friends in the community who share our commitment to ending domestic and sexual violence. 

A portion of the Women's Quarter Marathon + Mini-Quarter Marathon proceeds will benefit the Houston Area Women’s Center.
