(Human Rights for Women) is a non-profit human rights organization for girls and women, which supports girls and women affected by violence through actions, public relations, promotion of projects and international networking.

Objectives

Our vision: Equal rights, self-determination and freedom- still a distant goal for the majority of girls and women around the world. TERRE DES FEMMES wants - in our country and elsewhere - a life without gender-based discrimination, violence and exploitation.

This means concretely:

  • Equal: before the law as in the world of work; in educational and career opportunities as in the sharing of family work
  • Self-determined: in sexuality and in all life decisions such as partnership, marriage, motherhood, choice of profession and participation in public life
  • Free: from role constraints and all forms of violence
