- Always meet the individual with respect, understanding and equality.
- Always take point of departure in your particular circumstances and own experience of the violence.
- Urge you to take initiative and action with the purpose of finding the strength to free yourself from the violence.
Their aim is to prevent and combat violence against women in every way, and they do this through the following initiatives:
- Operating an open, anonymous counselling offer and two shelters with an empowerment approach regarding women and children, who have been subjected to violence in any shape or form. Meaning that the individual woman’s resources form the base as to what expectations they have, and what kind of help they can offer her.
- That women who seek out and/or live at the shelters with their children always meet qualified and trained staff and engaged volunteers, that can guide, help and provide care.
- To dismantle myths and discourses in the general public that sustains and legitimates violence against women.
