Principles
Peace @ Home exists to help amplify survivor-centred principles: prevention, meaningful support, accountability, healing and collective responsibility.
What We Stand For
Domestic and intimate-partner violence affect individuals, children, families, workplaces and communities. Lasting change requires both survivor support and prevention.
Safety and dignity for survivors
Respectful, trauma-informed support
Prevention and early intervention
Accountability without dehumanization
What We Hope To Build
Break the stereotype
A public-facing platform for constructive advocacy, survivor-informed education and messages that help people recognize that violence is never merely a private matter.
Clear information and survivor resources
Cross-community collaboration
Public education and awareness
Hope rooted in practical action
Core Principles
The message is direct: safety is foundational, support should be meaningful, and change is collective.
Safety: Homes should be places of security, not fear. Safety is the baseline from which recovery and independence become possible.
Dignity: Survivors deserve to be heard, respected and treated as full decision-makers in their own lives.
Support: Meaningful support is practical, compassionate, informed and responsive to the survivor’s actual needs.
Collective action: Prevention is not one person’s responsibility. Safer communities require institutions and individuals to work together.

“Every woman has a story. And these stories must be told.”
“Domestic abuse is everyone’s problem and the solution must be too.”
“Harassment and abuse should never be normalized.”
“People who experience sexual harassment and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. They should have access to accurate information, meaningful choices, and appropriate support as they determine the path that is right for them.”
