They may have suffered family losses, intolerable persecution, and torture. Their current challenge is to transition into an alien culture and rebuild their lives. Iskashitaa’s confidentiality and diversity policy is to ensure that refugees are treated with respect while making this transition. Confidentiality All individuals who work with Iskashitaa Refugee Network agree to: 1. Respect the privacy of refugees with whom they are working. What the refugee shares, verbally or in writing, is confidential communication and is to be shared with others only when necessary. 2. Not make refugee names, stories, or personal information public without their consent. This includes the use of photographs and information in news stories, church bulletins, and newsletters. This also includes information or pictures on Facebook, Instagram, or other networking sites. 3. Receive written consent before sharing any refugee information and consult with Iskashitaa staff before sharing with external entities. Respecting Diversity 1. Iskashitaa team members are a diverse group of individuals from all walks of life. Iskashitaa Refugee Network respects that each team member holds his or her own beliefs and that personal beliefs are an important part of individual identity. 2. All volunteers, staff, and recipients of services with Iskashitaa deserve equal opportunity. This means that Iskashitaa will not discriminate against any individual on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, politics, veteran status, or disability. 3.
