"You've helped me love myself" Many women in sex work are pushed to the brink of survival. Women tell us that their hope & self esteem are rock bottom due to poverty, judgement and barriers to the support they deserve. They feel forgotten and are fighting to stay well. Let's show our support.

Situation
"My heart is broken on these streets" We are sadly meeting more women who are being pushed to the brink of survival. Women who feel forgotten, who are facing rising poverty and are in desperate situations every day. More women are hungry and don't have access to life's basic essentials like toiletries. Many don't have a safe place to live or if they do can't afford to make it homely. Financial and health struggles are taking a huge toll on women's mental wellbeing, self esteem and hope.
Solution
"They create safety and show me the good in myself" For women who feel judged or have no safe place to turn to, MASH provides hope. They won't be asked lots of intrusive questions before they can access support. From the drop-in and the MASH outreach van women can access nutritious food, emergency essentials, clothes, hygiene items and more. They can also get more in-depth support from case workers e.g. around debt and benefits which can alleviate a huge amount of distress and shame
