Mission Statement and Vision

WISH Mission Statement:
To increase the health, safety and well-being of women working in the sex trade in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
WISH Vision:
WISH believes in the inherent value and dignity of all women and seeks to empower and support women in making free and positive choices. WISH also believes in making visible the issues facing women working in survival sex.
We do this by providing a caring atmosphere of support, encouragement, and safety in a non-judgmental, welcoming environment, in collaboration with WISH participants, the Downtown Eastside Community, church communities and the people of Greater Vancouver at large.
Through advocacy, community education, and relationship building, we are committed to working toward a society where sexual exploitation of women and children is no longer tolerated.
