Women into Work reports
The Hallam Centre for Community Justice have undertaken a wide variety of work on the EQUAL funded Women Into Work programme managed by Supporting Others through Volunteer Action (SOVA).
The reports below have been produced by HCCJ as part of this work. For further information on the Women Into Work programme, please visit their website (www.wiw.org.uk).
From Morality to Rights: Debating Sex Work and Sexual Exploitation
The Symposium on Women, Human Rights and Prostitution, July 2007
The report of the Symposium on Women, Human Rights and Prostitution is published at a timely point in the autumn of 2007 as new legislation around soliciting offences is being considered and with much public attention on sex trafficking.
Between September 2006 and June 2007, the Symposium brought together a wide range of stakeholders from the prostitution field, including European partners, with a view to changing the terms of the often divisive and polarised prostitution debate and to test out the potential for finding consensus about constructive ways forward.
The Symposium held five meetings focused on different relevant topics and the final report summarises the conclusions of debates across the series of seminars.

I Ain't No Tea Lady
In 2004, SOVA in partnership with 10 agencies were successful in securing funding from the European Social Fund Equal Round 2 initiative for a three year Development Partnership called Women into Work: Building Futures. The partnership was commissioned to promote gender equality and support job de-segregation.
This document reports on Phase One of the programme which involved conducting peer research, and identifies and addresses barriers to non-traditional employment, training and education from a female perspective.
