Where We Stand

The Battered Women and Children’s Memorial Garden is an alliance of people desiring an end to violence. We form a beacon of hope to honor the disempowered, remember those lost and inspire justice through bearing witness, education, advocacy and service.

Together, we create a world in which each child, woman and man values one another equally.
We choose these fundamental principles for guiding our thinking, conduct and practices as an organization.
  • Remain loyal to the disempowered
  • Lead the discussion
  • Ask questions
  • Challenge gendered assumptions
  • Expose and oppose oppression
  • Apply accountability
  • Honor diversity
  • Practice responsible environmental stewardship
  • Speak truth to power
  • Make privilege visible
  • Eradicate misogyny
