As the only women's legal rights organization in the region, the LawCenter plays a singular and crucial role in the lives of battered women and victims of sexual violence. Through our Self Help Program, we provide free legal information to help thousands of battered women find safety and security for themselves and their children. And we work tirelessly to

improve the law to make it easier

for women to get and stay safe.
