Vision:
Our vision is a community where all people feel safe and are free from sexual abuse and assault.
Mission:
The mission of the PEI Rape and Sexual Assault Centre is to support survivors of sexual assault and abuse in their healing and to ensure that all people living in PEI are safe from sexual violence. In achieving this mission we work collaboratively with, and in ways that empower, individuals and organizations.
We believe that:
* Prevention of sexual abuse is everyone's responsibility. The community has a responsibility to support survivors in their healing and to work towards ending sexual violence.
* Sexual assault and sexual abuse are crimes that involve control and power.
* Survivors have the right to receive the support they need to heal from abuse.
* The trauma of sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse can severely impact the quality of life for survivors.
* Ensuring confidentiality and respecting the choices of survivors are top priorities.
* Healing that results in long term enhanced quality of life takes time.
* The impacts of sexual assault and childhood abuse permeate all of society.
* All survivors deserve access to services.
* Sexual violence will continue until the root causes of violence against women and children are addressed.
* Working collaboratively with the community is essential to address the needs of survivors.
