-
All family members have a right to safety in the community and where they reside.
-
All individuals experiencing domestic and family violence have a right to be treated with respect, dignity and with a non-judgmental attitude.
-
All individuals experiencing domestic and family violence have the right to choose what options they pursue to address the violence.
