My Story…
WISH is a safe haven for women who work in Vancouver's street-based sex trade, providing a variety of services within a nurturing and non-judgemental environment.
Vancouver has been named one of Canada’s most liveable cities, yet for many of the women who live here, that’s not the case. 100 percent of women who use WISH live in poverty. 90 percent live with mental health issues or addictions. 80 percent are homeless. 60 percent are Indigenous.
By supporting WISH, you'll be supporting some of the most vulnerable women in Vancouver. You'll be providing the women of WISH immediate health and safety benefits, 365 days a year, along with a host of programs that support women in realizing the goals that they’ve set for themselves and for creating opportunities for women to make safe and healthy and positive choices.
Thank you.
Description
WISH Drop-In Centre Society puts its mission, values, and core principles into action by providing services, supports and opportunities to women engaged in Vancouver’s street based sex industry. WISH offers a safe haven for sex-working women: a place to take a break, connect with colleagues and friends, get a bite to eat or access other, more specific kinds of support – in a safe, respectful, accepting environment. As a deeply respected member of the DTES community, WISH offers programs to serve immediate needs, while engaging in the ongoing advocacy required to shift societal prejudices that continue to put women at risk.
