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.
