Our Programs

Gender-based violence

Public Health Education And Outreach

Public Health Education And Outreach

We provide advocacy services to women and young girls who are facing or are victims of domestic and sexual violence and provide support services to help them cope with challenges. We tend to provide advocacy to women of all ages who are faced with discrimination of any form whether it is at work or at a service center. We advocate for equal opportunities for women including economic and educational opportunities.

Public Health Education And Outreach

With the COVID-19 Pandemic it became evident that women who identify as immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers or BIPOC were disproportionately impacted. This shed a light to the need for more education and outreach about public health which is culturally and linguistically appropriate. Her Safety Net provides education and outreach to women with limited communication and comprehension skills in multiple languages through videos, flyers, posters, and door-to-door outreach. We currently develop educational materials in multiple locally spoken languages that address major health problems faced by our target population including information about COVID-19, Cancer Screening, Diabetes and other healthcare issues.
