Our Vision and Values

We’re fighting for a world where women take their rightful place in a just and fair society, free from inequality, violence and oppression.

• We are feminist – working towards transformational and substantive political, economic and social equality for women; in all of our activities, we will raise awareness of the inequalities experienced by women in society and provide interventions to redress the balance.

• We are inclusive – accessible, welcoming and provide services to all women, regardless of age, race, disability, religion and belief, lesbian, bisexual or transgender identity, or any other irrelevant factor.

• We are responsive – listening to the needs of women and their children and targeting services and resources to meet the needs of the women who need us the most.

• We believe in person-centred solutions – recognising that each woman has unique needs and a unique background, and we tailor our services as a result.

• We are partners – recognising that more is achieved through collaboration and co-operation than competition; we will work with other organisations which share our values to achieve more for women and children.

• We are stewards – taking great care of the resources entrusted to us by others, whether this is money, time or trust, and we are open and transparent in our reporting.

• We listen, learn and adapt – involving our stakeholders in what we do and how we do it; we seek feedback and say sorry and put things right if something has gone wrong.

• We are professional – aiming for excellence in everything we do.

• We are positive – about the women and children we work with, about the opportunities we can create and the amazing things that we can achieve together.
