Safely together in Hoas homes

At Hoas, you can live without fear of discrimination or mistreatment. Let’s respect each other and allow everyone to be who they are. 

Gender, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, values, health – none of these make anyone better or worse than others. Everyone deserves to be treated equally. 

A safe environment is for everyone. No one should be disturbed or have their boundaries crossed – not physically, verbally, or emotionally. Each of us is responsible for our own behavior. 

Everyone has the right to be heard without fear of belittlement or offense. Let’s keep our conversations open and inclusive – valuing all perspectives, as long as the discussion remains respectful. 

Let’s encourage and support one another. Avoid belittling, mocking, or commenting on appearances – everyone has the right to be themselves without judgment. 

You can’t always see someone’s life story. Keep an open mind and give space for different experiences and backgrounds. 

If you see inappropriate behavior, don’t look the other way. If you can, calmly intervene or support the person who’s being targeted. 

If you hurt someone – even by accident – apologize. Don’t dismiss their feelings.
