Fort Bend Women's Center

Who We Are

Since our founding in 1980, the Fort Bend Women’s Center has helped more than 50,000 survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault. We are always here to help our neighbors in their time of need.

We are the primary provider of assistance services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Fort Bend County, just outside of Houston, Texas.

Our goal is to guide survivors as they heal from their abuse. We equip them with the emotional, psychological and practical skills and resources to create a hopeful, safe, independent life free of abuse.

All of our services are completely free of charge and open to all survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault because we believe every survivor deserves the chance to thrive.

What We Do 

We are here for survivors in crisis, but our support doesn’t stop when the immediate crisis is over. The impact of abuse is long-term, and we are there for as long as it takes for a survivor to become independent again.
First Priority

Our first priority is our clients’ safety. Many of our clients come to us when they are fleeing their abuser and have nowhere else to go. Our Emergency Shelter provides temporary accommodations, meals, childcare and support services. We meet some of our clients for the first time in a hospital, providing practical and emotional support in the immediate aftermath of a sexual assault.

Long-Term Support

Once our clients are safe, we offer long-term, integrated support services to help them heal from the trauma of abuse and rebuild their lives. We assist clients with housing, accessing services, transportation, training, education and navigation through the justice system. We provide a range of counseling and child mentoring services to help these survivors rebuild their lives, free of abuse and to break the cycle of violence. These support services can be accessed through our Counseling Center in Fort Bend or remotely.
