Objectives

AMDAF envisions a future where migrant women and their families enjoy equal opportunity and are not judged based on race or gender. Our vision is that every family is recognised without discrimination, respected, and treated justly.

Our mission is to contribute to the protection and promotion of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of migrant women and their families. We also aim to serve as advocate of their rights, promoter of their capacities and driving force of social change through community development projects, public educational campaigns, and awareness-raising programmes.

We adopt Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals, by promoting all actions to eliminate root causes of discriminations against women in public and private spheres – to achieve gender equality and empower them.

Empowerment: Committed to empowering migrant women and their families by providing resources, education, and opportunities to achieve their full potential.

Equality: Striving for a society where migrant women have equal opportunities and are free from racial discrimination.

Advocacy: Actively advocating for the rights and recognition of migrant women, ensuring their voices are heard in all spheres of society.

Inclusion: Promoting inclusivity and cultural competence, ensuring that all community members feel valued and respected.

Community Engagement: Building strong, supportive communities through social enterprises and initiatives that foster unity and mutual support.

Cultural Competence: We respect and celebrate cultural diversity, providing culturally sensitive services and content to meet the unique needs of ethnic minorities.
