THANS member organizations are guided by a Feminist Philosophy and believe that:

 

·         Woman abuse and family violence exist in our province
·         No woman or child should be abused physically, psychologically, emotionally, sexually or economically
·         Every woman and child has the right to live free without fear
·         A secure, non-judgmental and supportive environment will enable women to become active agents in their own lives
·         Particular attention should be paid to the needs of children exposed to woman abuse and family violence
·         Ongoing services should be available to women and children who are victims of woman abuse and family violence
·         Efforts should be made to provide public education in our communities concerning the extent and ramifications of woman abuse and family violence
·         Communication and cooperation between agencies concerned with women abuse and family violence should be encouraged at every opportunity
·         THANS member organizations are accountable to those who access their services and to their communitiServices should be extended to women and their children of every age, race, ethnic background, language,             religion, marital status, socio-economic status, mental/physical ability, sexual orientation, political  affiliation, national ancestry, and/or citizenship status who meets the THANS member organization         intake criteria. THANS member organizations may be limited in providing a full range of services to women with mental and physical disabilities. Every attempt shall be made to provide appropriate             services, within the reasonable capacity of the organization        
·         Women have the right to personal dignity, to freedom from fear and to freedom from physical and/or emotional coercion
         Women have the right to information, the right to moral and personal freedom and the right to exercise personal autonomy in making decisions, to make choices affecting her own life
