Bahamas Crisis Centre

The Bahamas Crisis Centre exists to help women, men and children who are facing domestic violence, abuse or any situation of crisis. Our hotline is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Crisis Centre is a non-profit, ideologically independent organization primarily pledged to respond to the needs of all victims of sexual, physical and psychological violence. We advocate for legislative and societal protection of survivors and raise public consciousness through education and information.

Objectives of the Centre: ▪ To promote the safety and healing of survivors of gender-based violence and child abuse. ▪ To raise the consciousness of all communities throughout The Bahamas to the devastating effects of violence on the quality of life. ▪ To advocate for legislative change to protect victims of violence and challenge relevant agencies to foster appropriate and sensitive response to these issues. ▪ To improve our service delivery through continuous education by participating in local and international conferences and workshops. ▪ To initiate and/or participate in the collection of data, on the prevalence and trends of gender-based violence and child abuse.
