       Draft EDI Vision Statement
    Inspiration 
    • Anti-Oppression/Anti-Racism approach, which recognizes that 
    oppression and racism are inherent in our society and in MSF. 
    Therefore we must actively challenge any practice, standard or belief 
    that further perpetuate oppression and racism.  
    • Deep Diversity Framework which emphasizes the self-journey of 
    recognizing bias, personal identity, emotions and privilege and using 
    this self-awareness to work against oppression and racism
    • MSF Canada’s Employment Philosophy – Humanity, Integrity, Results

       Draft EDI Vision Statement
    Vision 
    MSF Canada is a workplace and a community in which individuals from 
    different backgrounds feel safe, develop a strong sense of belonging 
    and are empowered to use their voice to fully participate in MSF’s 
    social mission. 
    Mission
    We educate ourselves about privilege and historical oppression to 
    actively challenge and dismantle both individual and systemic 
    practices that marginalize the people and the communities with whom 
    we work. 
         Draft EDI Vision Statement
    Principles 
    Equity: We understand that different individuals face different barriers to growth, 
    mobility and participation. We’re committed to naming and removing these barriers to 
    rebalance engagement in our social mission. 
    Diversity: We actively seek unique lived experiences and perspectives that help us 
    challenge our biases, expand our capabilities and increase the representation of 
    historically marginalized groups at all organizational levels and in all our activities. 
    Inclusion: We value the meaningful participation of all actors in the design and 
    decision-making processes that enable us to deliver our social mission. To this end, 
    we create norms, standards and expectations that celebrate and reflect the diverse 
    realities of the people and communities with whom we work.
