About This Resource

This organization, Bay Area Women Against Rape (BAWAR), has been a pioneering force in advocating for rape survivors since 1971. They have provided unyielding support to survivors, transformed how the criminal justice system responds to sexual assault, and inspired volunteers to serve as Rape Crisis Advocates. Their work has included running several counseling programs, sending rape survivors to prisons to talk to rapists about the long-lasting impact of their crimes, and advocating for expanded funding for rape crisis services statewide. Despite the organization's closure, the impact of their work in the movement for survivor justice and healing will continue long after their doors close.

Don't bother calling them ever. Not even on the hotline. They don't pick up.

All the staff is here to help. There is a tree with many branches.

The person who came to the hospital was not from me and stayed with me for hours and I didn't really get along that well with her. And then I got a shot in the hospital of antibiotics and had a bad allergic reaction and instead of her waiting around to see if I was okay she kept trying to call my name and then told my daughter will just tell your mom I'm leaving instead of seeing if I was okay or getting a doctor for me. It was pretty insensitive and then I found out later that all the information she gave me was wrong so I will never go back to them again
