We work to ensure that our services are sensitive to survivors of gender-based violence, people of colour, Indigenous peoples, people with financial difficulties, people without status and people with disabilities. We do not support colonialism in any of its forms, both past and present, and act towards dismantling the colonialism that is still present in our society today. In accordance with the above stated goals, we seek to establish a collective that has a strong representation of people of colour and trans people.
