Who we are
MOSAIC is an African Feminist, community-based, non-governmental organisation based in South Africa, expanding its footprint into other African countries. We have been responding and working to prevent gender-based violence since 1993, with a particular focus on domestic and intimate-partner violence.
What we do
MOSAIC Training Service & Healing Centre provides direct, urgent and practical long-term care and support services to survivors of domestic and intimate-partner violence. We package our services into practice models that serve as prototypes of what works to adequately provide access to care, support, safety, security and justice.
Our Mission is to
1. PREVENT domestic violence by working with men, boys, women, girls and gender diverse persons to dismantle patriarchal norms, the privatisation of abuse and violence in relationships, homes and community to advance gender equality and safety;
2. SUPPORT survivors, especially women by responding to both urgent and practical intersectional needs to ensure that they heal from the effects of domestic and intimate-partner violence;
3. ACTIVATE processes and people (duty bearers) to advance a rights-based, survivor centred responsive care, justice, safety and security system that acts to protect women’s right to be safe in relationships, homes and communities;
4. COLLABORATE with survivors, researchers and other civil society organisations to create strong laws, policies and accountable systems focused on prevention and equitable access to care, support, safety, security and justice.
Gender equality and safety in relationships, homes and communities is possible-learn more about how are working to advance these possibilities-
