Our Values
Solidarity
Through VAI membership, victims act in solidarity with other victims across the world and access the resources they need to lead justice movements.
Relevance
Our members decide their objectives and the resources they need to achieve them.
Identity
VAI believes victims are not defined by their victimisation, and its vision and mission of working for them goes far beyond that.
Accessibility
VAI is open to all victims of serious international crimes and provides resources for members wherever they are.
Disruptive
VAI is driven by the desire to rethink accountability processes and empower victim groups to attain justice.
Intersectionality
VAI recognises the differences within communities and strives to provide tailored support.
Support
The VAI secretariat is a discreet background structure that supports members to obtain justice.
Integrity
VAI recognises the time and effort required support victim groups in their fight for justice. We are guided by what our victim clients instruct us to do, rather than popular trends in the justice movement space.
Technical Excellence
VAI brings extraordinary technical expertise to its work with victims.
