About
Mission: The mission of Safe Voices is to provide person-to-person, individualized advocacy for all survivors of domestic abuse and violence, sex trafficking, and sexual exploitation in Androscoggin, Franklin, and Oxford Counties and engage our communities in social change to eliminate violence. Vision: While advocating for and with survivors, we also endeavor to build safe communities in which everyone is free from abuse and exploitation. Values: As an agency, Safe Voices pursues our work to end domestic abuse and violence, sex trafficking, and sexual exploitation, with core principles. These include: - Our centering of survivors in their own stories and our commitment to helping them pursue their desired outcomes - Our belief and commitment to nonviolence - Our demand that those who choose to cause harm accept accountability and responsibility and actively pursue change - Our commitment to support our staff with professional development, emotional wellness, and compensation at the highest possible levels - Our pursuit of equity and inclusion through education, examining and updating our practices, and honest exploration of biases we hold or have held, and the harm those biases have caused - Our commitment to harm reduction and harm repair in our practices as communicators and service providers.
