Women exiting abuse violence and exploitation (WEAVE)

WEAVE PROGRAM is for women who want to leave the sex trade 604-746-3301

The WEAVE project at the Warm Zone falls under the leadership of The Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver (EFry) who is acting as the contracted service provider in a three agency delivery model:  (EFRY, Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) and SARA for women (SARA).  The project draws from the resources of the three agencies to assist women in Abbotsford to exit prostitution.  Outreach workers will connect with the women involved in prostitution in the community or returning to the community from prison and who want to exit from prostitution. Psycho-educational groups, safe housing, addiction counselling and treatment, and clinical counselling will form a continuum of services. Through case management, women will engage in activities to increase their community support and address their health, education, employment, and parent needs to best prepare them to exit the sex trade.
