The center is the culmination of the efforts of women at Caroline over several generations to increase the status of women and provide an infrastructure to represent Women’s interests. The Carolina Women’s Center was founded to speak with a unified voice for the over 20,000 Carolina women on issues such as women students' health, campus security, child care, professional development, spousal referrals/hires, pay equity, and the climate for women on campus.

The Durham Crisis Response Center works with the community to end domestic and sexual violence through advocacy, education, support and prevention. Domestic and Sexual Violence Services is the result of the merger of two long-standing community agencies that together served the Durham community for over twenty years: Rape Crisis of Durham (RCD) and the Orange-Durham Coalition for Battered Women. In February 2001, the Boards of both agencies voted to create one comprehensive agency to provide domestic and sexual violence services. Planning for the merger began in 1999, and the Boards finalized the merger on October 15, 2001 . Durham Crisis Response Center (DCRC) is now the only agency in Durham dedicated to providing advocacy, shelter and support services to victims of domestic and sexual violence. Our ultimate goal is to ensure every victim is a survivor.

Women’s Center of Fayetteville

The Women’s Center of Fayetteville is a non-profit organization that serves as a multi-service resource and advocacy Center, dedicated to helping women and men help themselves through our programs and services.

Our mission has always been to promote growth, productiveness and well being through peer counseling, education, information, and advocacy programs. The Women’s Center works with other community agencies to achieve this goal, and has a solid history of helping women, men and families.

The Women’s Center opened in May 1990, and is the result of the vision and determination of a small group of Fayetteville women who recognized the demand for a facility where information on community services could be collected and distributed to our community. This group of women realized that these services should complement each other, not compete with each other, and that a network of these helping agencies was vital to our community. The Women’s Center, a positive and productive meeting place for women evolved from this commitment.
