Some groups, however, have made the autonomous decision to gear their meetings toward a specific group within the fellowship. For example, there are meetings for men, women, gays and lesbians, sexual anorexics, professionals, and those who have committed felonious behaviors.&nbsp;Such meetings are meant to allow those of us who attend them to speak more freely, to give us the opportunity to meet with others who may understand us better, or to better protect our anonymity.&nbsp;These kinds of meetings have proven to be valuable. Our experience suggests, however, that we gain much by also attending meetings that are as open and diverse as possible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SAA Women and Diversity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The SAA Women\u2019s Intergroup supports all members who identify as women.&nbsp; As the fellowship grows and matures, including more diversity, the Intergroup has the vision and mission to support SAA women in new ways.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Please let us know if there is a way we can increase our support for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/saa-recovery.org\/diversity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Our Diversity<\/strong><\/a> webpage on the international website&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See also: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/localmeetings\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/localmeetings\/\">Local Women-Only Meetings<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/women-of-color\/?customize_changeset_uuid=42499bc9-0b9b-4086-b4b9-4b02fb81313c&amp;customize_messenger_channel=preview-1https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/women-of-color\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/women-of-color\/?customize_changeset_uuid=42499bc9-0b9b-4086-b4b9-4b02fb81313c&amp;customize_messenger_channel=preview-1https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/women-of-color\/\">Women of Color<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/intimacy-avoidance-2\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/intimacy-avoidance-2\/\">Intimacy Avoidance<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/espanol\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/espanol\/\">Reuni\u00f3nes espa\u00f1ola<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/We-Are-Priceless.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/We-Are-Priceless.pdf\">Former Sex Worker Meetings<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/womens-outreach\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/womens-outreach\/\">Women&#8217;s Outreach Committee<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/specialty-intergroups\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/saaforwomen.org\/index.php\/specialty-intergroups\/\">Specialty Intergroups<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-small-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">\u201cOur fellowship is open to women and men, regardless of age, race, religion, ethnic background, marital status, or occupation.
