A safer Philadelphia, for better tomorrows.
For 50 years, WOAR – Philadelphia Center Against Sexual Violence has provided an empathetic ear, a caring heart and a helping hand to anyone who has experienced sexual violence recently, or at any time in their life. Each year, we helped thousands of survivors of sexual violence in Philadelphia through our hotline and in-person support and advocacy.
WOAR is here for survivors of sexual harassment, abuse, and assault because generous donors, like you, made it possible. Generosity gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others. WOAR is here because you make it possible!

We’ve been there.
“When I was put in a fight or flight situation, I did neither. I froze. And I want to make it clear to other survivors that froze, you made it out alive. Your body protected you the best it could. You did everything right, and now you are a survivor. A SURVIVOR. Also, survivors of this kind of trauma should always remember it is never your fault. You did not choose this – no matter what people say or don’t say.”
Isabella, Survivor and Volunteer

Dear friends,
What I know for sure is that the work we do is sacred and unscripted. As someone who has been doing sexual violence work for over 25 years, it is the honor of a lifetime to be in service to survivors of sexual assault.
Will you join me in making a donation to WOAR, and planting a seed of hope, and healing?
Our services are critical now more than ever. With you by our side, we can stand with survivors for years to come.
On behalf of the survivors we serve and the communities we partner with to end sexual violence, we are grateful for your generosity.
In service,
Dr. Indira Henard, DSW, MSW
