About Us
Enabling her power to decide leads to an inclusive, democratic and diverse society. As EMPOWER, we advance women’s political equality towards justice and democracy centred on feminist and human rights principles. We are a non-profit, non-partisan, women's rights organisation.
We believe that gender equality is important in achieving a thriving democracy.
EMPOWER’s two primary thrusts are:
1. WOMEN’S POLITICAL PARTICIPATION
EMPOWER believes that this is a prerequisite for the full realisation of women’s rights in both the public and private spheres.
2. WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN DEVELOPMENT
Work undertaken in this area is focused on the promotion of development programmes and agendas that fully realises women’s rights while advancing a just and gender-equitable model of development.
