INOVAS aims to re-empower victims and survivors by:

  1. Amplifying victims’ and survivors’ voices, creating safe spaces, and protecting those in danger as a result of their activism;
  2. Recognising victims’ and survivors’ needs, aspirations and rights, and advocating for justice through their direct participation in the formulation of policies in national, regional, and international fora;
  3. Building and preserving a knowledge-based historical memory that includes the perspectives of victims and survivors;
  4. Promoting and advocating for justice with national, regional and international   bodies by educating policymakers and political actors;
  5. Promoting transcontinental solidarity, linking interregional networks, and supporting national/grassroots movements in their search for justice, truth, accountability, reparations, memory and prevention;
  6. Contributing to the transformation of the structural political, social and economic conditions responsible for serious human rights abuses, social injustices and inequalities.
