East Los Angeles Women’s Center is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, California, that serves women, girls, and their families by promoting safety, health, and personal well‑being and by reducing violence and abuse. It operates in the individual and family services sector and offers a range of programs, including a 24‑hour bilingual rape crisis hotline, sexual assault and domestic violence services, mental health and therapeutic parenting programs, HIV/AIDS prevention and testing for HIV‑positive women, and community mobilization through Promotora programs. The organization prioritizes culturally competent services tailored to Latino communities across Los Angeles County.

It traces its origins to 1976, when the East Los Angeles Rape and Battering Hotline began serving the Greater East Los Angeles area as a Spanish language, 24‑hour crisis line for survivors of sexual assault. From those beginnings, it has evolved from a volunteer‑driven hotline into a full‑service agency dedicated to safety, access to health services, and social support for women, girls, and families. Based in the Los Angeles region, the center emphasizes building safer, healthier communities throughout Los Angeles County.
