OUR BELIEFS
We believe that violence against women is an equality issue.
We believe that violence is used to control women and children.
We believe that people in positions of power create society’s standards and stereotypes. Individuals outside of these standards are often excluded.
We believe that violence against women is everywhere in society. We are all responsible for ending violence against women.
We believe that violence against women will end when all women have the right to self-determination (the freedom to live and act as one chooses).
We believe that we must continually work to reduce barriers to: education, housing, childcare, employment, healthcare and the legal system.
We believe that women’s response to violence and abuse should not be criminalized and or pathologized (to view or characterize as psychologically abnormal).
We believe that violence against women must be addressed with an understanding of racism and oppression.
We believe different experiences and additional barriers exist in shelters, communities and institutions for Indigenous women, racialized women and women from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
We believe that violence against women is a human rights violation and that perpetrators must be held accountable.
