In 2000, SAW started a safe house for displaced Burmese women along the Thai-Burma border. The aim of this program is to provide support services in areas of health, education and safe housing. Migrant workers are in danger of being unexpectedly fired at any time and there is no guarantee of pay. When women are terminated from their job and left homeless, they have difficulty finding temporary shelter while looking for new employment. As a result, many vulnerable women are lured into sex trade. Burmese women migrant workers, including girls, are vulnerable to attacks and human rights abuses such as trafficking, exploitation, rape and murder. SAW named this safe house the Women's Crisis Center (WCC) in March 2005. WCC empowers women to make healthy decisions about their livelihood.
