Our mission

We are committed to ending sexualised violence – worldwide.
Together with our partner organisations, we strengthen women and girls in conflict areas and support them in coping with violence and trauma. We stand up for women's rights and work towards social transformation.

As a feminist women’s rights and aid organisation we do this as part of a diverse feminist movement.

“Our work remains necessary since injustices and violence continue and we need to bring them to an end. Women should be able to enjoy their rights, since they are essential for justice, peace and security.”
