Aawaaj-breaking the silence

Aawaaj vision and mission statements are built upon its values and also serve to guide programme development, implementation and evaluation

Our Vision is a world of hope, resilience and social justice where all people live in dignity and security.We seek an end to all forms of violence against women and children caused by unjust social, political and economic conditions. The work of Aawaaj and its partners will lead to gender equity and sustainable development, fulfilling the rights and improving the lives of poor, vulnerable and socially excluded groups.

Our Mission is to eradicate all forms sexual, domestic and conflict-based violence through the process of empowerment. Our work will contribute towards creating an enabling environment through establishing community support mechanisms addressing violence against children and women. We bring about lasting change through a participatory process involving the active contributions of men and women, children, families, teachers, local leaders, existing community groups, the government and local NGOs, and especially survivors of sexual exploitation in all phases of our work.
