ABAAD - Resource Centre for Gender Equality
ABAAD Resource Center for Gender Equality is a non-profit, non-politically affiliated, non-religious civil association founded in 2011. Our aim is to promote sustainable social and economic development in the Middle East and North Africa region through equality, protection and empowerment of marginalized groups, especially women. ABAAD comprises of a dynamic pool of resources, human rights activists, lawyers, consultants, social workers, and researchers that are all dedicated towards achieving gender equality and women empowerment. Our Vision ABAAD envisions a world in which men and women live as equitable partners and work together to secure better lives for their future. Women are effectively empowered and participate in democratic processes that affect their lives and their communities. In this world there is no violence or discrimination, and women live in freedom, dignity and inner peace. Women also have fair access to assets and resources within their communities. Our Mission ABAAD believes that achieving gender equality requires systemic changes in policy and modes of social interactions at all levels of the society: home, work place, school, public services, media, and others. Hence, ABAAD seeks to promote women’s equality and participation through prevention and protection for women, men, and children and youth by way of Advocacy; Resource Development; Direct Services; and Building Capacities, Raising Awareness, and Technical Support. ABAAD also seeks to support and collaborate with civil society organisations that are involved in gender equality programs and advocacy campaigns. Our Values ABAAD draws its values and goals from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the CEDAW, and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. ABAAD, as an association, also believes in the spirit and values of equality, protection, empowerment, inclusion, partnership, networking, good governance, accountability, and transparency.
