support and healing tailored specifically to their needs.

Identifying Women
A person, who regardless of their sex assigned at birth, identifies as a woman and/or who identifies as female non-conforming.

Women of Colour
“Women of Color is not a biological designation. It is a solidarity definition. A commitment to work in collaboration with other oppressed women of color who have been minoritized. It is a term that has a lot of power.”
Be You. Love You. Do You.
