The organisation aims to work for and with people on issues of human rights, healthy life styles, family planning, and personal development through promotion, training and research. The organisation conducts research into gender issues and disseminates results through seminars, training sessions and round-table discussions. The Executive Board (3 people) decides the organisation's policy. The organisation exists for the use of local NGOs on local and regional levels. Every initiative that we undertake is a joint effort of our staff and the end users. We try to work with as many people and NGOs as possible, but it is not always possible due to communication problems and ability to network.
