*Statistics reflect the most recent publicly available data, which is often published with a delay of at least one year due to reporting and verification timelines. As a result, figures may not reflect real-time conditions but represent the most current finalized data available from official sources.
*Numbers represent reported and confirmed cases and reflect only a portion of total incidents. Due to underreporting and variations in data collection, actual prevalence may be higher.

The SAFE Alliance is a Central Texas nonprofit working to stop abuse for everyone. SAFE supports children, adults, and families who have experienced abuse by providing safety, stability, and healing. To more effectively put an end to child abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, and sex trafficking, SAFE provides shelter, counseling, legal assistance, supervised visitation, and more. In addition to direct services, SAFE works to prevent violence before it occurs through parenting assistance and education, programs that promote healthy teen relationships, and working with communities disproportionately affected by abuse. Violence and abuse are a cycle, often transferred across generations. We work to break that cycle. Learn more at safeaustin.org.
