Title
Tapestri - Immigrant and Refugee Coalition Challenging Gender Based Oppression
Description
Our Philosophy
We are a coalition of advocates who believe that every person has a right to live without fear. We exist to increase access to services for immigrant and refugee communities. Our communities should be able to seek and receive help and services that are respectful of our languages, cultures, race, age, sexual orientation, disabilities and religious beliefs. Recognizing that this is a lifelong process, Tapestri members attempt to live and model these values when we interact with our communities and among ourselves.
Despite the diversity of backgrounds of Tapestri members, our philosophy is one of respect and celebration of differences while sharing the belief that gender based violence is inexcusable, regardless of individual cultural norms.
We do not see domestic violence, sexual assault and exploitation as the problem of an individual woman or even as a couples’ issue but rather as a human rights issue. It is a phenomenon that grows out of societies in which gender inequality and the use of violence are accepted as the normal behavior. Tapestri seeks to educate individuals and agencies so that these destructive norms will not be continued into the next generation.
