SCWO Events

This year, SCWO is participating in the Singapore Night Festival! Join us for a beautiful night to remember as we celebrate the women of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

The areas of Bras Basah and Bugis will be an array of lights. Come and light up the night with us through our various activities.

For the first time ever, get a bridal dress for less at New2U Thrift Shop’s Wedding Market 2022. If you’re a bride with strong principles and an advocate for environmental sustainability, or if you’re looking for fabrics and materials to create your own masterpieces, come on down and select your dress from the wide range of gorgeous styles, sizes, and intricate designs.   

In light of raising awareness, In Her Stride presents Take the Stage. Make a Stand; An outreach concert to raise awareness about violence against women. We invite individuals and groups to come forward and take the stage and stand against violence through the arts, be it singing, dancing, monologues, poetry reading or anything that helps them express their thoughts and experiences to embrace the future of a life free from violence. 

It's that time again! Our Year-End Bazaar is back! Come down and join us for the biggest sale of the year. This time, we're laying out only THE BEST items that we have. Date: 9 - 11 December 2022 Time: 11am - 7pm Place: SCWO Centre  FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.   See you then!

  100% of sales proceeds from New2U Thrift Shop will go towards the SCWO Centre to protect and support the women and girls under our care. With your help, we can raise funds to do more to serve the community. Your donation will go a long way in supporting Gender Equality. Together, let's #EmbraceEquity     You might already know that New2U Thrift Shop is 100% run by volunteers. Donation Drives require a lot of manpower and time to filter through the items, ensuring that the quality and conditions are good enough for them to be resold in the Thrift Shop. A lot of times, the donations are mixed with items that are, quite bluntly put, trash. Please help us by sorting out your donations and ensuring that your pre-loved goods are in good or excellent condition. Remember, if you would buy it, you can donate it, but another woman's trash is not necessarily another woman's treasure. Update: Due to the overwhelming response, registration is now closed.
