The women’s Outreach Committee (WOC) is part of the International Service Organization (ISO) of SAA. Their focus is to reach out to all women across the world who want to stop their addictive sexual behaviour.
As part of their work they will:
- Respond to letters from women and publish them in the “Dear Grace” column in The Outer Circle newsletter.
- Organise the Women’s Outreach List “the Grace list” to help women connect
- Hold a Women-only break-out room at the ISO convention.
- Write the text for the women’s pages on the international website.
- Represent women on ISO committees
- coordinate ways for the ISO to hear women’s voices, such as panel discussions and workshops at each ISO convention, and the continuing series of teleconferences on “Women in the Fellowship: What’s working; what’s not working.”
- Produce pamphlets for women – A Special Welcome to the Woman Newcomer, Safe and Sober Meetings, and What’s the Difference?
The Woman in the Rooms was the Outer Circle issue for July-August 2016 – a series of articles explores the question: How can we make space as a fellowship for women in SAA?”

The Women’s Outreach Committee was suggested in 2003 by a woman member of the ISO Board of Trustees and formed as a Board committee. Their primary purpose is to support the woman sex addict who still suffers.
Their scope is four‐fold:
- to reach out to all women who desire to stop addictive sexual behavior;
- to assist these women in connecting with other SAA women;
- to provide a safe place for women to reach out to other women for support and sponsorship, and
- to give women a voice in the SAA fellowship.
