Vision and values

Vision statement

For a world free from sexual violence, abuse and exploitation and a society in which everyone has equality, freedom and choice.

Mission statement

Support survivors who have been subjected to any form of sexual violence, abuse or exploitation in their lives.

Promote equality and raise public awareness of the impacts of sexual violence.

Speak out against and challenge the myths and stereotypes that perpetuate sexual violence.

Our values

We believe first and foremost that perpetrators of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation are responsible for their actions – not survivors. Sexual violence is an abuse of power, an act of control and a breach of human rights.

As a feminist organisation we recognise that all forms of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation are acts of violence that disproportionately affect women and children and are fundamentally rooted in gender inequality.

We strive for inclusivity and recognise that all forms of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation can affect anyone.

Quality - We are committed to providing high quality and professional support to survivors of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation.

Empowerment  - We listen, believe and support survivors so they feel empowered to live a life where they can understand, manage and overcome the impacts of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation.

Inclusive - We promote equality and strive to provide an inclusive service for all survivors of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation.

Compassion - We listen to survivors with empathy and without judgement. We respond with compassion, supporting them to feel valued, understood and able to share their experiences.

Collaboration - We are committed to working collaboratively within our community and with other agencies to support, empower and create positive change for survivors of sexual violence.
