Intersectional Feminist
Intersectional feminist frameworks emphasise political advocacy and collective action.
We commit to targeting systems and attitudes that support violence, not individuals, as the root of inequality.
Trauma and Violence Informed
Trauma and violence-informed practice guides the work we do, recognising that trauma is often entwined with social injustice, not just individual experiences, and that responsibility for violence rests with the person using violence. We are equally concerned about healing.
Anti-Racist
It is not enough to not be racist.
We commit to taking deliberate action to address and transform the systems, policies, behaviours, and beliefs that uphold racial inequality.
Anti-Oppressive
We think deeply about how things like racism, sexism, poverty, or power imbalances affect clients.
We are willing to question and change practices that might unintentionally cause harm or reinforce inequality.
Grounded in Lived Experience
We acknowledge the inherent power imbalances between people who use our services, our staff, and the organisation as a whole. Challenging these imbalances is our responsibility. We commit to doing so in intentional and ongoing ways.
