Women in Crisis in Jeffco might – might, not sure – be trans-exclusive. But both SPAN/Boulder Safehouse and Colorado Anti-Violence Program (which is LGBT-specific actually) are very good resources for determining what programs and resources would be best for a specific person. Both make a serious effort to be AR/AO- conscious. And I’ve given a sex work presentation to SPAN.

There are physical offices in all four major centres, and outreach workers covering the rest of the North Island. Their contact information can be found here: http://www.nzpc.org.nz/index.php?page=ContactUs

*Obviously, decrim means we’re free from the fear of arrest when reporting crimes against us, but that doesn’t mean everyone is understanding.

WOAR (Women Organized Against Rape) is sex-worker friendly, but we can’t speak for all volunteers @ 215-985-3333.

We have had some great support through the DV Hotline, run by several local organizations 1-866-723-3014. This hotline is open to ALL genders.

Seriously, though, anyone with non-American resources to add, please do. I was particularly sad that we didn’t get any Canadian responses to the various call outs that produced this list.

Thanks–hope others will decide to add more resources they know of in the comments as well, b/c this is exactly the sort of thing we meant.
