VISION
We envision a society where gender and sexual identities are respected in mosaic communities in which individuality is valued and fully embraced in inclusionary collective spaces, without unequal gendered socialization, and without fear and persecution.
OUR APPROACH
Gender-neutral
We provide services to all marginalized groups and for LGBTIQ+ communities. We work to bridge service gaps for male survivors of sexual violence and Trans* persons. The structure of MOSAIC reflects the inclusive integrated community in which we believe.
Holistic
We advocate for LGBTIQ+ friendly national systems and local communities. We care for individual identities as much as we work for community equality. Our integrated interventions are designed to equally engage LGBTIQ+ persons and others.
Strategic
We mobilize people and resources in a dynamic and principled process leading to achieve LGBTIQ+ natural integration in communities.
