- Stop Criminalizing the Poor and Scrap Civil City!
- End Global Hunger and Poverty!

----------------------------

The Power of Women Group is a group at the Downtown Eastside Women's
Centre and we do education on social issues. We are a group of women from
all walks of life who are either on social assistance, working poor, or
homeless; but we are all living in extreme poverty.

Many of us are single mothers or have had our children apprehended due to
poverty; most of us have chronic physical or mental health issues for
example HIV and Hepatitis C; many have drug or alchohol addictions; and a
majority have experienced and survived sexual violence and mental,
physical, spriritual, and emotional abuse. For indigenous women, we are
affected by a legacy of the effects of residential schools and a history
of colonization and racism.
