Vision

The vision of Just ASK is a society where women with disabilities who are survivors of sexual & domestic violence are fully supported in their rights to safety and autonomy.  Our vision includes barrier-free access to SA/DV and disability services; where SA/DV and disability advocates are supported in their efforts to provide accessible services, and; where policy decisions reflect an understanding of SA/DV and disability issues.

Mission

The mission of Just ASK is to increase access points for women with disabilities who are survivors of sexual assault or domestic violence by connecting CILs and DV/SA programs around common definitions of DV, SA and disability, common values of safety & autonomy, and joint leadership in creating change.
