Help Kelsey raise money

Why help me support the WISH Drop-In Centre Society? 

WISH’s Impact:

- 9000 meals served per month

- 800 women connected with outreach team per month

- 512 referrals made each month for services like housing, treatment, and counselling 

 WISH’s vision is for every woman to have access to opportunities to make free, healthy and positive choices. 

Programming at WISH includes a 24hr women’s shelter, drop-in centre, indigenous health and safety program, inreach, mobile access program, and supportive employment; offering women involved in street based sex work an opportunity to gain skills and experience in mainstream employment. 

“Respecting an adult woman's right to make choices about her own body, including consenting to sex work, strikes at the heart of emancipation.  

Many anti-prostitution activists argue that most women who sell sex are doing so against their will, thus conflating victims of sex trafficking with those who sell sex of their own volition. Yet there is a clear distinction between sex work and sex trafficking. Decriminalizing sex work affirms that there is a distinction between consenting adults trading money for sex and abused children or sex trafficking victims being forced or coerced to have sex against their will. This distinction shows legal respect for a woman's autonomy and a woman's choice about what to do with her own body.”
