"Ongoing discussions about online privacy often exclude this marginalized group: sex workers. Sex workers can be seen as the canary in the coal mine when it comes to data privacy. They’ve seen their rights online eroded in ways that are beginning to affect everyone else." rabble.ca/feminism/sex...

#GiveToGain, the theme for #IWD2026, emphasizes the power of reciprocity, and the benefits of abundant giving. As we continue working to improve service delivery for gender diverse sex workers, we are grateful to everyone taking action towards gender equality – on #IWD and every day.

Have you ever thought about making a monthly donation to WISH? It’s very helpful from an organizational point of view – but it's easy, and convenient, for supporters too! Learn why this type of giving is as thoughtful as it is generous: wish-vancouver.net/campaign/bec...

The criminalization of sex work increases isolation and amplifies sex work stigma, leading to greater harm. Research is clear – the “full decriminalization of adult voluntary sex work” is the best way to protect sex workers' rights. #DecrimNow Learn more about how WISH works: wish-vancouver.net

"... by blurring the line between illegal and merely objectionable activities, a moral calculus enters the debanking equation. Today this incentivizes the surveillance and rejection of adult industry workers as “high risk” clients." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

"Adult industry workers in Canada have increasingly taken to social media to disclose their frustration with these experiences, detailing accounts being frozen and funds seized with no explanation and limited recourse."

The criminalization of sex work increases the risk of gender-based violence. That’s why it’s a priority at WISH to provide services when that are needed – like our overnight Drop-In and MAP Van programs – and safety tools like the weekly Red Light Alert. #EndGBV #WhiteRibbon #NDRAVAW

29 WISH participants shared what programs are most critical to them, and the survey results show us why having a space to gather in community can be as essential as accessing frontline services. Learn more in WISH’s 2024-25 Annual Report – out today! wish-vancouver.net/campaign/202...

“People thrive off nature,” says a WISH Shelter Manager. But on the DTES, surrounded by concrete, nature is in short supply. That’s why the small garden in WISH’s backlot is so important. As one shelter resident recently shared, these flowers and plants make it feel “more human.”

Sharing your story, like Phyllis Webstad did, can be incredibly powerful. Today in the WISH Shelter, participants are invited to design their own #OrangeShirt & enjoy a special bannock brunch. We are grateful to honour the spirit of #TruthAndReconciliation together, in community.

New (or gently used) towels are in need now! Your donations will be put to use immediately in the WISH Shelter, and with preparations underway to re-open the WISH Drop-In, we are grateful to accept all items on our “wish list”: wish-vancouver.net/get-involved... Thank you for your support! ❤️
