WE LEARN holds these values as inwardly reflective of our networking organization and
outwardly active to the communities we reach. WE LEARN embraces an inclusive definition of “women” that includes cis-women, trans women, and femme/feminine-identifying gender queer, and non-binary people. ** WE LEARN is Women-Centered / Women-Positive: WE LEARN focuses on the issues, needs, concerns, viewpoints, strengths, and wisdom of women WE LEARN Supports Social Change: Investing in women's education is a necessary step to ending all women's oppression and creating equitable communities. WE LEARN Works towards Justice & Equity: Social justice is about sharing power, creating equity (vs. equality), and moving with a collective, shared sense of responsibility. Social justice involves doing rather than being done to. We believe that all people can act to identify, understand, and address social injustice and inequality, challenging the dominant dialogue/norms. WE LEARN Acts through Participatory Practices: WE LEARN bases our mission, vision and values on the needs, perspectives and interests identified and decided upon by our board members and supporters. |
