Welcome to the new Keep NEA Women Safe Blog

Every day someone is affected by the tragedy of being victimized by sexual or domestic violence. The Women’s Crisis Center of Northeast Arkansas is here to provide immediate crisis care, support, and hope to those individuals and their families. It is out mission to keep women in Northeast Arkansas safe by protecting their legal rights, offering counseling and education, offering methods of support, keeping them from harm’s way and being their voice. Despite all the laws that are currently in place to protect women, the numbers are absolutely shocking in terms of the epidemic of gender-based violence and sexual assault. It is our ultimate goal to END violence against women and children, but in order to see that happen, education must be present in the workplace, schools, churches, locker rooms, courtrooms and in all other areas within our community. We make education and awareness in the community a high priority in our fight to end these heinous crimes.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our blog. We believe that you will find both our blog and our new website both informative, educational and, in terms of the number of incidents of these crimes, shocking. If you are in need of any kind of help, please don’t hesitate to pick up the phone and call or send us an email from a discreet account with your contact information so that we can offer you immediate assistance.
