Everyone Has the Right to Feel Safe
Launch library · evergreen read
Feeling safe, in your home, your relationships, your workplace, and your community, is a basic right that belongs to absolutely everyone, without exception or condition. This is worth knowing whether or not you ever decide to use it. This is a genuinely reassuring thing to understand in advance. This is worth remembering, whatever stage of the process someone is at.
When that feeling of safety is disrupted, it is never something a person needs to justify seeking help or support to restore, at any time or stage. This is something worth clarifying early, even before deciding anything at all. This is worth understanding clearly before making any decision at all. This is a right worth knowing about, whether or not it is used.
