Cathy Mwanza, Women's Place Manager Women's Place Mandate To serve isolated women and girls in the community by linking them to community services. The purpose of Women's Place is to Reach out to isolated, vulnerable women. A group of agencies working with women in Scarborough came together in 1994. They were concerned about the numbers of women who were isolated and vulnerable because of violence/abuse, poverty, mental health and newcomer issues. Our needs assessment survey showed that 52% of these women had never used any kinds of community service-not even a library. Their isolation and vulnerability was caused by lack of information, the stigma of exposing family problems or fear of reprisal at home. We wanted to create an informal safe place where women could learn about resources available to them and begin to overcome their isolation. |
