Join the SANE campaign - Stop Abuse Now Everywhere
1. If you are abusing yourself, stop.
Self-abuse stops when we respect and nurture ourselves.
2. If you are abusing someone else, stop.
Abusive behavior stops when we are tolerant and respect others.
3. If you see abuse, say something.
Abuse stops when people who have the power to speak up and speak out, break the code of silence.
Be a weaver: Stop abuse now
Use this simple three point program to create change. Imagine and implement this program with friends and family, in workplaces, schools and associations, in faith organizations, health care and social services, in government, media, and the arts, in homes and communities.
Together we can create a world where everyone is free of abuse and can live his and her creative potential. Thank you for being part of the solution.

Building a community of women
in community service
old woman is watching, watching over you
in the darkness of the storm she is watching
she is weaving, mending, gathering the colours
she is watching over you
so weave and mend, weave and mend
gather the fragments safe and win the sacred circle
sisters, weave and mend, weave and mend
old woman, weave and mend
old woman is weaving, gathering the threads
her body curled over her loom, she is weaving -
she is watching, weaving, gathering the colours
she is watching over you
for years i’ve been watching, waiting for old woman
feeling lost and so alone, i’ve been watching -
now i find her weaving, gathering the colours
now i find her in myself
so weave and mend, weave and mend
gather the fragments safe and win the sacred circle
sisters, weave and mend, weave and mend
old woman, weave and mend
- Daughters of Copper Woman by Anne Cameron
Old woman is not about how old you are. Each of us contains within ourselves, the old woman we will become – just like a caterpillar contains the butterfly that it will become. Some of us are old women now or soon will be. We can all choose this old woman identity as a way to live our life journeys now. Each woman has this freedom to choose.
weave and mend, sacred sisters,
weave and mend

Self-care
We support each other in engaging in self-care in ways that also help others to do the same. We know that we can’t rescue others but we can support others’ self-empowerment and care. We refuse to suffer.
SANE Campaign – Stop Abuse Now Everywhere
We promote selfhood and personal power and share ideas about how to help people to detach from abuse and to end abuse patterns in our lives, communities and in society.
NEW society work
We work to build a NEW society that nurtures everyone’s wellbeing in a sustainable future of freedom, democracy, opportunity, economic and social justice, caring for each other and for the Earth, our home.
Sexism Ends Now: women’s leadership for a NEW society
We develop ways to live creative potential in our lives, at work, in the community and throughout society. Our vision is a society where everyone lives her and his creative potential.
We encourage women to offer monthly gatherings
for networking and support with women in your community. |
