For 30 years, MASH has stood with women who sex work, supporting them to be safe, healthy and resilient. We have always had a strong focus on choice and empowerment. We meet women where they are at, and provide a range of non-judgemental advice & support services. “I call them my woman army.”

Situation
"If I'd been left to my own devices. I don't think I would have found that strength.” The women MASH supports are some of the strongest and most resilient we’ve ever met. Heartbreakingly, sex workers are more likely to be a victim of crime, experience poverty, addictions, isolation, health issues, homelessness and enduring mental illness. We work alongside women to help open doors and provide practical and emotional support.
Solution
“Hand on heart I was in such a bad way I don’t think that I could have carried on. I genuinely believe you’ve actually saved my life.” We focus on the reality of women’s lives, and how we can work with them to create the change that works for them. Our services include outreach via our mobile van 5 nights a week; a drop-in centre five days a week; a sexual and reproductive health clinic; counselling; and one to one casework to support with needs such as housing or addictions.
