Welcome.  Bienvenidos.

Hope. Dignity. Service. Support in difficult times. The East Los Angeles Women’s Center has been a beacon of hope and dignity for Latina women for more than 30 years. Women throughout the community rely upon the East Los Angeles Women’s Center to receive the support, compassion, and resources necessary to empower and transform their lives. 

For many women, the Center is their only lifeline to escape a violent home and gain the necessary strength and skills to become healthy and safe. Since our founding, we have built our reputation through the trust of the community to provide a broad range of culturally relevant, bilingual services that continually evolve to meet the changing needs of women and families. 

Beginning with an all-volunteer bilingual hotline, the Center has broadened its reach to include: crisis intervention, prevention education, referrals, community outreach, and professional services for sexual and domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, parenting and more. We strive, not only to resolve an immediate crisis, but also to help the next generation of young women and young men learn conflict resolution skills, be peacemakers in their home and at school, and most importantly to become adults committed to safe and healthy homes and vibrant and thriving communities.
