UWDATS opposes and denounces any sort of discrimination and seeks to make overcoming social and economic disadvantages a priority.

UWDATS recognizes that all individuals are entitled to dignity, fairness, a sense of belonging and the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Those served by UWDATS and its community partners should be able to express, and have respect given to their distinct cultures, values, and norms.
