WOMEN'S RESOURCE CENTER
The Women’s Resource Center to End Domestic Violence (WRCDV) helps survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Atlanta improve their safety by finding a safe place to stay, exercising their legal rights, exploring options and creating accountability for those who cause harm. WRCDV has officially acquired the DeKalb Rape Crisis Center, also known as Day League. This strategic, mission-driven move allows the organization to offer a comprehensive spectrum of care for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors.
