The Crisis We're Addressing

Spokane County recorded a domestic violence offense rate of 18.7 per 1,000 residents in 2024 — more than double the Washington State average of 8.1.

 

In a single year, domestic violence contributed to nearly $12 million in medical costs in Spokane County alone.

Only 16% of local DV victims currently receive help.

 

That means 84% of survivors are navigating crisis, danger, and trauma without support.

Existing systems are essential. But they are built to catch people after the fall.

Sexess is built to prevent the fall from happening — and to support survivors when it does.
