WCCI launches new services

Women’s Crisis Care International (WCCI) has launched new services for all women living in the Kingdom of Bahrain. All services are free.

WCCI provides specialised care and treatment for women who have been victims of domestic and sexual abuse by a service called “Crisis Advocacy”. It is provided in coordination with American Mission Hospital (AMH).

Anytime a woman, who has been a victim of abuse, goes to the AMH urgent care, the hospital staff will automatically call one of WCCI’s 70 certified crisis advocates. The service is available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The crisis advocate provides emotional support and informational support to the victim.

Furthermore, WCCI is also operating a 24/7 telephone helpline on which any woman can call and receive telephone crisis advocacy. Telephone advocacy is also for emotional support and informational support. Helpline: 3844 7588.
