Our Approach
JDI’s mission is to complement and support the expertise and leadership of our coalition members. We are committed to creating healthy vibrant communities, where violence and abuse of power no longer exist, and gender equity and racial justice is a priority. The JDI staff have developed a statement of our core values – Community, Justice, and Solidarity – that guide our approach to fulfill our mission, engage with our membership and the broader community, and act at all times with respect and integrity.
Advocate
We seek to change the lens through which our communities view gender-based violence by shining a light on the experiences of survivors and promoting equity and justice for everyone.
Collaborate
We work with both public and private partners to create policy that is responsive to survivors needs, helps expand resources, and promotes prevention strategies.
