We value:
- The fundamental principles of human rights and creating positive change that defend and uphold those rights for individuals and communities
- Collaboration and partnership that ensures the greatest levels of participation, inclusiveness, and responsiveness;
- Access to resources and strategies that empower and engage the voice and agency of communities and individuals; Continued learning and sharing of knowledge to promote innovation and to advance human rights; and Diversity of voices in all aspects of our work.
We seek to uphold and respect these values in our operations and governance and to:
- Be guided in our daily work by human rights principles of dignity, equality and non-discrimination in all internal and external relationships;
- Encourage participation from all levels of the organization and be as open as possible to collaborative engagement with a diverse range of allies;
- Explore and implement new technologies and make an effort to counter the challenges of access and equity that still exist in relations to these tools;
- Strive to create an environment that promotes voice and agency, in a world characterized by discrepancies in access to opportunity and power;
- Be ethical and responsible in our use of visual media;
- Remain open-minded to new ideas and change in all aspects of our work, and share
-without holding ownership -new strategies and innovations for social change; - Embrace a diverse representation among our staff, board members, volunteers; and Refuse sources of finance deriving from activities that conflict with our vision, values and goals as an institution.
