Domestic violence affects people of all ages and backgrounds and is not confined to any one economic, racial, gender, cultural or societal group.

For 50 years, WRC Inc., formerly the Women\u2019s Resource Center, has served victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence by providing crisis intervention, advocacy, safe housing, legal services and prevention education. Advocates say preventing domestic violence requires the collective efforts of a host of organizations, caring individuals, and law enforcement personnel to assist victims and to educate communities.
