In 1972, the D.C. Rape Crisis
Center (DCRCC) was legally incorporated as one of the first
rape crisis centers in the nation. Since then the DCRCC has grown,
but the organization has maintained a deep commitment to the empowerment
of women and a recognition of the connections between various forms of
oppression.
The Center's services include: a 24-hour hotline, group and individual
counseling services for rape and incest survivors and their families and
friends, a companion program to accompany survivors to hospitals, courts and
police proceedings, low-cost self-defense classes, a growing library, training
for professionals working with survivors and a wide array of community
education programs including "Staying Safe" classes for children of all ages
within the D.C. public school system.
The Center is dedicated to continuing and improving its services and
programs. It celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 1997.
