Excited to be off to Leeds Pride with Yorkshire MESMAC Leeds #LeedsPride this morning! #solidarity

Fab session yesterday with Forward Leeds in our drop-in on #HarmReduction and #Nitazines with women offering experience and guidance alongside. #Co-Production #Partnership

Sadly we see this played out every day across our services; to address this must we must also address stigma, ensure all aspects of sex work are decriminalised, improve support for women being exploited and address homelessness:all factors enabling violence against women.

We are proud to be part of the ASE Partnership (formerly STAGE) who've been successfully funded for 3 years from @TNLCommunityFund. Basis will be supporting women (16+) in Leeds and Wakefield experiencing adult sexual exploitation with a focus on transitioning into adulthood.

New training alert! 'Working with Women Sex Workers' will take place online on 14/11 & focuses on sharing best practice working with women sex workers. Think this might be a good learning opportunity? Book your place here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/working-with… #leeds #supportsexworkers
