As such Women and girls are key agents of development and change. Achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls is vital to building fair, inclusive, prosperous and peaceful society.

We fight to eliminated discrimination against HIV and other STD/STI very seriously. As migrant populations are often victims of neglect, stigma and discrimination based on their status. Our role is to remove all barriers assuring that migrant women and their families have access to STD /STI testing and educational sessions that brings awareness and change.
