The principles that guide our mission to create safer communities
Our values are the foundation of everything we do. They guide our programs, inform our decisions, and inspire our community to join us in creating a New Zealand where everyone can walk without fear.
We believe in the fundamental dignity and worth of every individual. Respect is the cornerstone of a violence-free society, and we work to instill this value in every community we reach.
Violence is 100% preventable. Through education, awareness, and community engagement, we work proactively to stop violence before it happens, rather than simply responding to its aftermath.
Change happens when communities come together. We believe in the power of collective action and work to build strong, connected communities that reject violence and support one another.
We approach our work with empathy and understanding for all those affected by violence—victims, families, and communities. Compassion drives us to create lasting, positive change.
We believe individuals must be held accountable for their actions. We advocate for strong legal consequences for perpetrators while working to change the culture that enables violence.
In Fau's memory, we choose hope over despair. We believe in the possibility of a violence-free future and work every day to make that vision a reality for New Zealand.
Knowledge is power. We believe that education is the most effective tool for preventing violence, and we invest in comprehensive programs that teach conflict resolution and empathy.
We speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. We advocate for stronger laws, better support systems, and cultural change at every level of society.
Our values of respect and education come alive in classrooms across New Zealand, where we teach young people about the real consequences of violence and the importance of treating others with dignity.
We embody community and compassion through our grassroots events, bringing people together to stand against violence and support families affected by tragedy.
Our commitment to accountability drives our legislative work, pushing for stronger sentencing and legal recognition of coward punches as serious crimes with devastating consequences.
