The suffering of individuals especially women and children who experience such violence is too often unheard. Aawaaj listens to those unheard voices and helps them to live in society with dignity.

Aawaaj is trying to organize and bring people together through rights based approach (especially increase participation of boys and men from different professions along with girls and women) for collective analysis around the causes of violence in local level for improving the environment in society and fighting together for better solidarity. Creating community support mechanism is a major approach to listen and raise voice against all sort of violence and those reasons of silence can be broken in every society to obtain human rights through out the life.

Aawaaj's approach is listening and providing emotional support to the victims of violence in society. Aawaaj actively engages with sufferers, explores alternatives and facilitates to identify solutions to restore a sense of own worth. In this process Aawaaj has empowered communities to take charge of their own development process. In addition, the capacity of local institutions has been enhanced to deliver social services against violence.
