A support philosophy is the way we conceive and approach our work, the values that we carry, and that color our action.
Freedom
Accommodation is on a voluntary basis. We support you on your journey while respecting your pace and your choices.
Respect for specific needs
Each person receives services adapted to their situation. Each stay is different and women find their own solutions.
The resumption of power
We aim for the development of independence. We encourage you to recognize your personal worth and make your own decisions.
Tolerance
We advocate tolerance in group life in the face of difference. All housed women and children have their place in the shelter, regardless of their situation.
The rejection of violence in all its forms

The feminist approach is quite simply a way of putting your values into action.
