VISION
A community where all forms of sexual assault, violence, and abuse do not exist.
MISSION
Jaago Hudson is a survivor-led movement that aims to raise awareness and remove the stigma surrounding sexual abuse and violence in the South Asian diaspora by harnessing the power of survivors using community circles.
VALUES
Honoring the dignity and worth of all people: Jaago believes every person, while unique, deserves to be honored with respect, dignity, and care, despite individual differences across genders, cultures, religions, etc.
Confidentiality and integrity - We will maintain confidentiality and integrity in all aspects of our work and when interacting/collaborating with members and allies. By doing so, we will ensure the preservation of a space that feels safe to the community we serve.
Social-Justice - As an organization, we stand against all forms of oppression locally and globally.
Liberation- Through collective power and capacity building, Jaago works towards liberating all who experience multiple layers of ongoing and historic oppression.
Collective Memory: We will honor our collective history and validate the stories, traumas, struggles, and oppression of those before us.
OUR STRATEGY
Holistic Approach- All aspects of Jaago’s work will prioritize communal healing and therapeutic methods that will be guided through restorative practices.
Individual Well-being- Jaago prioritizes self-care and self-preservation above all. Our work is fighting against patriarchal systems that have existed for hundreds of centuries. Abolishing these systems will require consistent and sustainable efforts that can only be attained through loving and caring for yourself.
Gender Equity- The focus of our work will always work on creating systems that promote gender equity and address gender-based issues locally and globally.
Accountability: We hold ourselves and our allies responsible for the work and initiatives we produce and ensure that it aligns with our vision, mission, and values.
Accessibility: Ensuring that our work and services are accessible by all, especially individuals who are socio-economically and culturally disadvantaged from accessing resources in our community.
