GRAMIN MAHILA SRIJAN SEEL PARIWAR (GMSP)

GMSP is a village-based women’s anti-trafficking movement in Nepal. Thousands of girls are carried off each year to brothels in India and into domestic slavery in the Gulf States, so GMSP is mobilising entire communities to be vigilant against traffickers. To reduce women’s economic vulnerability to trafficking, GMSP is enabling women to earn their own living. Additionally, when trafficking survivors return to their home villages, GMSP challenges the stigma they face and helps them to rebuild their lives.

Supporting Women's Alternatives Network (SWAN)

SWAN Logo verticalSince 2002, Supporting Women's Alternatives Network (SWAN), has provided support to im/migrant sex workers in Greater Vancouver. Im/migrant sex workers face multi-layered stigma, racism, and criminalization. Because of this, they are also unable to access mainstream support services. We offer low-barrier, culturally-specialized, and non-stigmatizing services through our frontline programs. They also works in partnership with community organizations and the women we serve to advocate for systemic change. Our research, advocacy, and law reform efforts aim to dismantle policies and practices that contribute to the marginalization of im/migrant sex workers.
