What we do
Our Vision
We are working for reproductive justice, prison abolition, and health equity.
WHAT WE DO
We are doulas, nurses, midwives, physicians, social workers, lawyers, students, policymakers, researchers, writers, educators, and mentors who have experienced criminalization firsthand. We are a feminist, anti-racist, anti-poverty, pro-LGBTQ2S+, pro-inclusion organization.
We are a volunteer-based non-profit organization. We provide support to clients in pregnancy, for abortion, childbirth, infant feeding, and newborn care. We facilitate workshops and education sessions for the public, students, health care professionals, and women, trans, and nonbinary people who have experienced criminalization. We develop resource materials. We collaborate. We advocate for decarceration and access to housing, income, resources and health care for women, trans, and nonbinary people who have experienced criminalization.
We serve women and transgender/nonbinary individuals who have experienced criminalization and are pregnant or have young children.
We have clearance to provide support at the Nova Institution for Women Federal Prison, the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility Provincial Jail, and the Nova Scotia Youth Facility. We support women and trans/nonbinary people on bail and parole in the community across Nova Scotia. We attend court proceedings, health and other appointments, and visit clients and their families where they are.
