Based on feminist principles, we seek to achieve our vision by building a movement that informs, connects and mobilises towards:

• Securing women’s rights and bringing about gender equality; 
• Building capacities for women’s empowerment and social transformation, and;
• Supporting women in crisis

AWAM operates on the strength of a dynamic and dedicated group of members and staff who shape the direction and policies of the organization. As a collective, AWAM strongly believes in having an inclusive, participatory and empowering organisational culture.

We are guided in our work and decision making by five core values:

• Collectivism
• Compassion and Respect
• Courage
• Equality and Justice
• Integrity

We are an independent feminist non-profit organisation established in 1985. 

[gap]

We adopt a multi-pronged approach in order to sustainably and holistically address gender-based violence.

• Policy advocacy – We lobby ministers, politicians and the public to enact, amend or repeal laws and policies to end gender-based violence and advance women’s rights 
• Public education and training – We conduct talks, seminars, forums, workshops, trainings, trainings of trainers (TOT) and other similar outreach activities to enhance multisectoral awareness of gender-based violence and women’s rights 
• Gender-based violence support services – Via our Telenita helpline, we provide free counselling and legal information services to all people in crisis, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status and other intersectionalities
• Community engagement – We engage with different communities (including the marginalized) and multisectoral stakeholders to inform our advocacy efforts and interventions
