Role
The Women’s Support Project (WSP) is a national organisation based in Glasgow. We aim to raise awareness of the extent and effects of violence against women and girls (VAWG), and to support those affected by this.
The WSP adopts a feminist ethos and principles in all its activities. Key themes in our work are addressing unmet need and emerging issues, making links between different forms of violence and abuse, and supporting multiagency and partnership approaches, ensuring the root causes of male VAWG are addressed. The work of WSP bridges the gap between statutory and specialist services in their response to male VAWG.
Our priority areas of focus are:
- Commercial Sexual Exploitation (including women involved in selling or exchanging sex);
- Racially minoritised women’s experiences of VAWG (including FGM and ritual practices);
- Technologically facilitated harm.
We welcome applications from women of all backgrounds and levels of experience, whilst at this point we have particular interest in hearing from people who have experience in the following areas:
