The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation has defended women’s rights since 1993. For every woman and girl’s right to be safe and to be heard.

Today, we are one of the world’s leading feminist women’s rights organisations, working directly in areas affected by war and conflict to strengthen the influence and power of all women.

We work closely together with around 150 partner organisations in 20 countries to defend women’s rights, achieve gender equality and justice, and reach lasting feminist peace.

Mission and Objectives
  • A world of sustainable peace based on democracy and gender equality, where conflicts are solved without violence
  • A world in which human rights are respected and everyone can feel safe and secure
  • A world in which women have influence over decision-making and participate fully and effectively in society’s development

The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundations supports women in conflict-affected regions. We do so by cooperating with 140 partner organisations across the world.
 

We believe in dialogue and long-term partnership. Our strength is that we get to know our partners, listen to them and support their priorities. We do not tell our partners what we believe the solution should be: we trust that they know that best themselves.

Our 13 country offices allow us to be responsive and stand by our partners in their struggle.
