Project Woman is dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault by providing services and programs to protect, educate, and empower. Community volunteers founded the agency in 1974 as a 1-room rape crisis center.
Today, as a non-profit 501c3, we operate a full range of rape crisis and domestic violence services. These include an emergency shelter for victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault and their children, a 24-hour crisis line, individual counseling, support groups, case management, victim advocacy, community education and prevention, children’s programming, 24-hour hospital advocacy and a greatly-needed needed transitional housing program.
Project Woman is a Council on Accreditation (COA)-accredited domestic violence and sexual assault service provider. We are a member of the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, and Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence and the National Network to End Domestic Violence
