To advance a coordinated, multi sectoral, culturally competent restorative justice response to violence against women and children by:

- To challenge, from a theological perspective, patriarchal traditions and other root causes of intimate partner abuse and violence that destroys the dignity of women, children and men, and
- To encourage the promotion of scriptural and the theological teachings that encourage intimate relationships that set people free to live their full potential in supportive unions

- Respect and human dignity
- Compassion and Ubuntu
- Collaboration and partnership

Testimonials
The World we Work in
%
of South African Women are in Abusive Relationships.
%
of the South African population affiliate with a religion.
In this context it makes sense that in South Africa abused women often turn to their religious leaders for counselling and assistance. SAFFI’s research shows that very few religious leaders have received training and support to respond effectively to survivors/victims, perpetrators and afflicted families in these cases.
