The St. John’s Status of Women Council operates the Women’s Centre, Marguerite’s Place Supportive Housing Program, and Safe Harbour Outreach Project.
The St. John’s Women’s Centre
The Women’s Centre (SJWC) is dedicated to providing FREE community-based programs delivered within a safe, non-judgmental, open, and caring environment. All of our programs and services are person-centred and for women and gender-diverse people in and around St. John’s.
The Safe Harbour Outreach Project
The Safe Harbour Outreach Project (SHOP) is the only sex worker advocacy program in Newfoundland and Labrador. Our mandate at SHOP is to advocate for the human rights of all women and gender-diverse people who have engaged in sex work across our city and province, both on an individual and collective level.
Marguerite’s Place
From the comfort and safety of their own apartments, Marguerite’s Place assists those who are striving toward living in community. Marguerite’s Place is designed to meet the needs of single women and gender-diverse people over the age of 30, without dependents in their care, living on low income, and facing barriers to stable housing.
