Our Space Launches

Our Space is a new initiative of Women With A Vision.  Its mission is to offer safe, respectful, free of judgment spaces for women and girls impacted by the sex trade and street economies to recognize and develop their goals, dreams and desires.  We also hope to use Our Space to foster community building and strategic action within the queer women’s and transgender communities in New Orleans.

There are five components to our program: self care, empowerment model, harm reduction, social justice, and popular education.

All of our activits are FREE. We receive fuind gfrom private contributions and foundation source to make it possible fo offer services completely free of charge.

Most of our activities are held at 1515 Salcedo.  Contact us to find out about our next event.

WWAV And CHAMPS Project Unshackle

Women With A Vision and CHAMP’s Project UNSHACKLE are joining together to mount a campaign to combat the sentencing of women who are sex workers under the 203-yr-old “crimes against humanity” felony-level law.

This law requires women to register as sex offenders for the next 10 years, placing ‘sex offender’ on their photo identification cards, among other prescribed penalties.

We are seeking funding to support the launch of a Women With A Vision/Project UNSHACKLE partnership to challenge this unjust sentencing law as part of a long-term plan address the larger web of injustices these women are moving through.

To help us with this effort contact Women With A Vision here.
