Mission Statement“We commit to offering help, hope and healing to those affected by sexual violence. We provide education, awareness and support as far as our arms can reach.“ Founded in 1974 as Community Action Against Rape, The Rape Crisis Center began as the combined effort of Florence McClure and Sandra Petta, two women in our community who were outraged by the lack of resources and respect for those affected by sexual assault. Mrs. McClure opened the first center out of her home, with the goal of helping those in our community affected by sexual violence. Today, the goal remains the same: The Rape Crisis Center is committed to helping those in our community heal from the trauma of sexual violence. Today, The Rape Crisis Center serves all of Clark County, Nevada. The Rape Crisis Center is committed to providing crisis intervention, advocacy, support and education to those affected by sexual violence. Advocates are available 24-hours a day to answer your questions and serve you. The center also welcomes calls from partners, friends or family members of those affected by sexual violence. If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual assault please call now: 702-366-1640. Vision Statement"To create a community free of sexual violence where all of us live without fear." |
