Values |
- Grassroots social change by creating local, community driven collaborations in order to foster social change from the top down, as well as from the bottom up.
- Nonviolence in terms of active resistance requiring one to act when faced with injustice. Leadership at COHI is supporting women to lead, to be forces for change in communities healing from conflict and disaster, and in organizational movements to support women in leadership roles.
- Volunteerism through the giving of time, money, knowledge, and general support with the goal of easing the suffering of others.
- Activism in individual responses to inequity and injustice.
- Supporting women and their families in their right to make their own decisions in all aspects of birth spacing and family size, while protecting access to the resources required to honor their choices.
