Their philosophy includes the following:































































They believe that everyone has a right to live and work in an environment free from abuse of any sort. In keeping with this conviction, they strive to operate a mutually supportive and non-exploitive workplace.































































They believe that domestic violence is rooted in a social attitude that violence is acceptable, a culture that devalues women, and a society structured by exploitation.































































In the conviction that individual empowerment and social change go hand-in-hand, they work toward both. By embracing the concept of self-empowerment, they encourage all women to realize their potential to control their own lives.































































They value the strengths inherent in diversity of cultures, lifestyles, and ideas.
