Vision & Mission

Our vision

An egalitarian, inclusive world, free from all gender-based violence, and where everyone benefits from the same opportunities and sees their rights respected.

"Strength, tenacity, freedom, desire, power... No, she's not a tomboy. She is a girl and a woman in the making, who will be taught values so that she is not a victim, but a player in her environment and her world.

​

She will speak out to make herself heard, and will choose and engage in dialogue whenever it's useful to her. I'm already brushing aside all the malevolent and stereotypical views of who she will be tomorrow."

Our mission and principles of action

Our mission is to promote gender equality, women's rights and health and fight against violence against girls and women through awareness, training, participation of all, partnership, advocacy and communication.

 

Our association respects a certain number of principles in the management of the organization and the implementation

implementation of our projects:

 

  • FEA aims to develop projects aimed at young people and to promote their place and participation to varying degrees within the association. Thus, the association is committed to developing their presence in the operational team and in governance.

 

  • The development of partnerships and networking are essential to the development of collective intelligence and the implementation of relevant actions.

 

  • In its desire to empower the people it works with, FEA favors “ doing with” and “doing together” by placing them at the center and considering them as actors in the implementation of projects. This approach allows the organization to better take into account people's lived experience and knowledge, and therefore to have a more inclusive approach.

 

  • Each context being particular, it is appropriate in each project to take into account the sociological, social, cultural and economic realities of the people targeted by the interventions and to avoid duplicating these from one field to another, from one public to another, without questioning them again.

​

  • Changes take time and resources. They must be approached from multiple angles (rights, health, gender, etc.), be based on a multi-sectoral approach and bring together several categories of actors, the strengthening of their capacities to act and in particular to act together being crucial.
