Introduction
(English version is not available)
在20世紀70年代末，香港婦女協會(現已解散)的「反強姦運動」成功引起了公眾對當時傳媒處理性暴力受害者新聞的關注。及後，組成了婦女中心小組委員會；並於1981年5月5日開設一條處理公眾查詢的熱線，專線設在前市政局委員葉錫恩女士的辦公室內，由一群熱心義工負責接聽。1985年，婦女中心建址深水埗麗閣邨；1989年8月成為香港公益金成員機構。雖然仍隸屬於香港婦女協會，但婦女中心持續發展，並有獨立的執行委員會。1992年9月，婦女中心宣佈獨立並易名為「香港婦女中心協會」以邁向新的方向。1996年，香港婦女中心協會在大埔太和邨成立太和中心，擴展新界區的服務。香港婦女中心協會現時是香港社會服務聯會的會員機構，並於2002年取得聯合國經濟及社會理事會特別諮商成員地位。
