During my volunteer experience at the Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES) Women’s Centre, I learned about the stigma and challenges that women living in poverty face every day. I wanted to create a campaign that would share their names, stories and dreams, with a goal to change the way people view women who live in the Downtown Eastside.
At the heart of the campaign is sharing stories and making bracelets with women at the DTES Women’s Centre. Once each woman has designed and made a bracelet, she signs her name on the tag. People can then learn about the stories and dreams from the makers of their bracelets on the campaign website.
