About Us

Our vision is a world free from sexual violence.

Our mission is to engage and educate communities to prevent sexual violence and support survivors and their loved ones as they heal and thrive.

A Message From Our CEO

DARCC is the only independent, comprehensive rape crisis center in Dallas County, and we didn’t come to be a vital component of Dallas’ critical social infrastructure by accident. Our leaders work tirelessly to support and empower survivors of sexual violence.
