International Women’s Day is an opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the contributions of women in every field and walk of life. This year’s theme of the importance of inclusion has particular relevance for social services and case management. This article highlights contributions of a few organizations that have partnered with Eccovia, and the women who lead their care coordination efforts.
At Eccovia, we’re privileged to work with amazing organizations that serve the most vulnerable in their communities, such as those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, refugees, LGBTQ+ youth, and many more. Across these organizations, women serve in every capacity, from decision-makers at the highest level to case workers interacting with and serving clients directly.
Over the course of our years of working together, we’ve had opportunities to sit down with some of these amazing women and talk about their organizations and they work they’re doing. Today, we want to shine the spotlight on them so you can have a chance to see what they have accomplished, for yourself!

Women Against Abuse (WAA) is the largest domestic violence service provider in Pennsylvania, operating the city of Philadelphia’s only two dedicated domestic violence shelters. WAA runs an additional 15 units of transitional housing for survivors to live with their families, and offers their services to survivors of all genders, moving beyond older notions of domestic violence as an exclusively women’s issue.
