From its beginnings in 1971, BAWAR has addressed the issue of sexual violence with two basic goals: 1) to establish a place where sexual assault survivors could receive the quality counseling and advocacy they deserve, and 2) to provide community education regarding sexual violence issues.
Although our name is Bay Area Women Against R**e, we serve anyone affected by sexual violence. BAWAR defines sexual violence by the narratives of the survivors who experienced the violence and we are here to believe and validate the community we serve in a trauma-informed, culturally appropriate and accessible way.
We provide a 24-hour crisis hotline available for anyone needing support in connection with experiencing sexual violence. In addition, we provide in-person counseling at both our Oakland and Fremont office locations. We provide advocacy, support, and accompaniment for medical and reporting processes in the aftermath of a sexual assault. All of our services are available in both Spanish and English.
For over 45 years BAWAR has offered counseling services and advocacy 24 hours a day. We cold not do this without the help of our volunteers and our community.
