The WCA saves hundreds of lives each year. It is the go-to place for anyone in the Omaha area who is experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking. One in four women will be a victim of sexual assault in their lifetime. The WCA offers free, high-quality services to address clients’ immediate safety needs and help them to grow into independence over time.
