Project Safeguard Competitors

YWCA USA is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities. We are one of the oldest and largest women’s organizations in the nation, serving over 2 million women, girls, and their families. YWCA has been at the forefront of the most pressing social movements for more than 160 years — from voting rights to civil rights, from affordable housing to pay equity, from violence prevention to health care reform. Today, we combine programming and advocacy in order to generate institutional change in three key areas: racial justice and civil rights, empowerment and economic advancement of women and girls, and health and safety of women and girls..

RAINN is the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization and the leading authority on sexual violence. We are a dynamic organization focused on victim services, public education, public policy, and consulting services. Our team develops and operates best-in-class services for survivors, informs and educates the nation about sexual violence, and improves the public policy and criminal justice response to these crimes. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline, which has helped more than 2.7 million survivors of sexual violence since 1994. The hotline is available by phone (800.656.HOPE) and online chat (online.rainn.org) in English and Spanish (rainn.org/es). The service is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

For nearly twenty eight years, the National Domestic Violence Hotline has answered the call – over seven million calls, chats, and texts to date – for those affected by relationship abuse. As the only 24/7/365 national service provider offering services via call, chat, and text, we work to shine a light on domestic violence by supporting and advocating for survivors, providing hope in times of crisis, and promoting healthy relationships for all. The Hotline provides confidential, one-on-one support to each caller/chatter/texter, offering crisis intervention, options for next steps, and direct connection to sources for immediate safety. Our comprehensive database holds more than 5,000 agencies and resources in communities all across the country. Bilingual advocates are on hand to speak with callers, and our Language Line offers translations in over 200 languages. The Hotline is also an excellent source of help for concerned friends, family, co-workers and others seeking information and guidance on how to help someone they know. We work to educate communities all over through events, campaigns, and dynamic partnerships. Today, The Hotline is continuing to grow and explore new avenues of service. love is respect, a project of the National Domestic Violence Hotline and Break the Cycle, is a peer-to-peer resource for questions about dating and healthy relationships.
