Respect all life: 
Respect the life and dignity of each human being without discrimination or prejudice.

Share with others: 
Share my time and material resources in a spirit of generosity to put an end to exclusion, injustice and political and economic oppression.

Listen to understand:
Defend freedom of expression and cultural diversity, giving preference always to dialogue and listening without engaging in fanaticism, defamation and the rejection of others.

Preserve the planet: 
Promote consumer behaviour that is responsible and development practices that respect all forms of life and preserve the balance of nature on the planet.

Rediscover solidarity: 
Contribute to the development of my community, with the full participation of women and respect for democratic principles, in order to create together new forms of solidarity.

Reject violence:
Ask questions about government spending on the military. Raise awareness of how our everyday language is embedded with violence.
