MISSION STATEMENT AND VISION OBJECTS
The organisation's mission is to reduce, and ultimately eliminate altogether, the
incidence of emotional and physical abuse in Australian society resulting from
unlawful public acts of racial vilification involving antisemitism in particular,
and to empower victims to overcome such abuse through the pursuit of legal redress
and education.
We envisage an Australia in which all persons can go about their lives without their
freedom and sense of security being violated by the propagation of hatred against them,
directly or indirectly, on the basis of their actual or perceived race, colour or
national or ethnic origin.
The forms of emotional and physical abuse which we are pledged to overcome are the
effects of bullying and intimidation which are inherent in the public incitement of
racial hatred, whether or not the incitement involves explicit or implicit threats of
physical harm, including:
- limitations on the personal liberty of those who are the public targets of the hatred;
- their internalization of, or tendency to internalize, racially discriminatory messages; and negative stereotypes, and
- their propensity to accept inferior status or rights, and to "suffer in silence".
