MISSION
Our mission is to reduce the incidence and trauma of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse in North Lake Tahoe and Truckee communities.
VISION
We envision a community free of violence where all women, men, and children are treated equally with dignity and respect, and where intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and child abuse are no longer tolerated.
PHILOSOPHY
Tahoe SAFE Alliance believes every person has the right to live a life free from violence and abuse. We are committed to empowering victims in reclaiming those rights and to educating the community on violence prevention. As a feminist organization, we celebrate women’s contributions to society and honor our foremothers who created the movement to end the inequities and oppression that lead to domestic and sexual violence. We believe in equality for women and men, and recognize that the imbalance of power in our society needs to be rectified through advocating for women’s rights. We believe sexual assault and intimate partner survivors are compelling ambassadors and allies in the movement to end violence.
We know intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and child abuse inflicts physical and emotional harm, social distress and economic costs on all victims, including women, men, children and teens, as well as the community at large. Tahoe SAFE Alliance empowers survivors to move through self-sufficiency by providing reliable, consistent and progressive services. We educate the community in order to prevent future violence, sexual assault, and child abuse because we believe violence is learned and can be unlearned.
