Guiding Values & Goals:
SACK understands the resiliency and bravery of survivors is that the center of their work and they are guided by the voices of survivors and act to honour all decisions that they make. They ground all of their work in a feminist, anti-racist and anti-oppressive framework, and are committed to recognizing and challenging the lack of accessible and appropriate services for survivors of sexual violence.
They seek to identify and remove any barriers to access their services and work closely with the community at all levels..
