Assistant District Attorney Named liveSAFE Resources Woman of the Year

Rachel Ashe, assistant district attorney for Cherokee County, was honored as the liveSAFE Resources Woman of the Year for her tireless work on behalf of domestic abuse victims. Ashe received the award during liveSAFEs 34th annual Tribute to Achievement benefit event at the Cobb Galleria.

We are thrilled that Rachel has received this prestigious award that recognizes her commitment to seeking justice on behalf of our most vulnerable victims, those who have been affected by domestic violence, said Shannon Wallace, Cherokee County District Attorney. We are blessed to have Rachel as part of our team.

In the District Attorneys office, Ashe is assigned to the Domestic Violence Unit, where she prosecutes felony cases involving intimate partner violence. She works alongside an investigator and victim advocate to ensure that victims have a voice throughout the legal process. Previously, Ashe worked in the Cherokee County Solicitor Generals office, where she prosecuted misdemeanor cases involving domestic violence.

Ashe was chosen from among 15 outstanding women leaders who live and/or work in metro Atlanta. The honorees were inducted into the Academy of Women Leaders during the event.

A nonprofit organization, liveSAFE Resources provides services to victims of sexual assault including 24-hour medical exams by registered nurse examiners trained in advanced assessment and forensic techniques.
