About this service
EWMA was launched in 2003 as a development initiative of Atira Womens Resource Society. It has focused on supporting women in Vancouvers Downtown Eastside to work together to develop an alternative form of business or employment that is grounded in their needs and realities.
The program is a self employment initiative for women impacted by violence who face significant barriers to traditional employment and who seek safe, income-generating opportunities free from exploitation, abuse or other vulnerabilities.
The program is inclusive of all women in Vancouvers downtown eastside who have been affected by violence (including aboriginal, immigrant, visible minorities, senior women and women with physical or mental disabilities) and operates from a harm reduction, low threshold, and anti-oppressive framework with the goal to offer immediate income-generating alternatives.
