Belief Statement

• We believe in empowering survivors of gender-based violence through making them aware of choices, options, and resources.
• We believe in respecting the choices of all persons through support and acceptance.
• We believe in the right of all persons to be safe and secure.
• We accord individual respect and caring to all persons.

Philosophy

* We believe in a non-violent society in which women have both the freedom and the responsibility to direct all the important aspects of their lives: emotional, intellectual, spiritual, economic, and sexual.

* We believe that meaningful action toward a non-violent society necessitates changing community awareness of and challenging the acceptability of victimization of women and children.

* We believe women can evaluate their fears, attitudes, alternatives, and options in a manner that will enhance the empowerment of all women.
