Getting from Point A to Point C

Womxn Beyond Borders’ objective is to provide harm reduction services to marginalized communities. Much of their work is in implementing alternative practices in the community, such as yoga and breathing techniques to decrease anger, self defense classes for womxn and, providing crisis packages for persons experiencing domestic violence. They also opened a crisis intervention house during COVID for trans men with children as no shelter would accept trans men with children in Philadelphia. They use a universal approach to addressing the individuals where they are and are working diligently to go inside the jails and formulate a prerelease package; they find that if they develop early intervention practices prerelease, they can provide immediate resources for persons transitioning into reentry housing.
