Stockport Women’s Centre is proud to be a part of the Effective Women’s Centres Partnership
– ensuring women have the chance to thrive
The aim of the EWC Project is to build and share evidence on how women’s centres transform lives and benefit communities to inform and shift policy.
The EWC Project vision is that all women in England and Wales have access to sufficiently funded, gender- and trauma-responsive services where their needs and strengths are recognised, evidenced and met; their voices are listened to; and they have agency to transform the systems which impact them, creating better lives for themselves and society as a whole.
The Effective Women’s Centres (EWC) Project is a collaboration between:
- Anawim – Birmingham’s Centre for Women
- Farida Women’s Centre Oldham (Partners of Prisoners)
- The Nelson Trust
- Salford Foundation
- Stockport Women’s Centre
- Together Women
- The Women’s Centre Cornwall
- The University of Birmingham
- The JABBS Foundation for Women and Girls
Together we are pioneering the use of trauma-informed, gender-responsive assessments which look at all aspects of a woman’s life to identify the risks and needs she faces and where she is already strong.
