Core Areas
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide our constituents: women, girls and minority group’s practical tools for self-development, voice and actions through research, advocacy and movement building. We strongly believe that rights are interrelated, inalienable and inseparable and therefore cannot be achieved in isolation. We, therefore, focus on the following thematic areas towards achieving a global picture:
Our Vision
A society where gender equality and social justice become part of everyday life
Our Thematic Areas
