"Over 25 percent of women in small rural and isolated areas live more than 40 miles from the closest Intimate Partner Violence Program, compared with less than 1 percent of women living in urban areas."

Rural Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Advocates provide specialized services, establishing remote, safe meeting spots, outreach, and education to victims and communities living in the most “geographically isolated areas” in Macon County. By partnering and building bridges with local faith communities, health clinics, soup kitchens, libraries, and other non-profit entities, our hope is to make victims feel that they are not alone.

We are just a phone call away!

We can meet YOU in a pre-determined, safe location in YOUR local community.

If you or someone you know lives in a rural community and is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, and/or human trafficking, please call or text us at Macon Office: 828-369-5544
