The main objectives of NADRF are reinforcing a human rights culture among citizens at all levels, promoting women's rights as an integral part of human rights and increasing awareness on the rights and legal protection ofegyptian women.
It is our mission to promote the values of equality between the sexes without discrimination or disrespect for human dignity and rights, whether civil, polltical, economic, social or cultural. Our long-term goal is to work for a reform of Egyptian legislation for it to comply with International Charters of Human Rights.
Among the main projects that we have developed from 2005 to now there is the implementation of a project on women's political participation with the goal of raising their capacities in the management of
public affairs. This project lasted for two years, and it has been carried out throughout all of Egypt's regions.
We also implemented a campaign for a period of 3 years to empower Egyptian women and raise their
capacity to assume public office. Furthermore, the organization implemented a campaign for a period of 3 years that consisted in training Egyptian women and enabling them to enter the upcoming local elections. NADRF also carries out research tasks, the Assembly has issued many reports and qualitative data on violence against women and on how administrative decisions always come out unequal for women in oposition to men.
We could collaborate with organizations that could take advantage of the activities we carry out, such as legal assitance for women and awaraness campaigns. It is important to share ideas and initiatives with other organizations to improve our projects and help other organizations increase their potential. We are preparing many proposals that we would like to share within the Anna Lindh Network. We are ready to work and eager to see what the Foundation can bring to us.
We want to project our organization internationally and for this reason becoming part of the Anna Lindh Foundation Network could be helpful to increase our visibility and allow our organization to meet partners from the Egyptian Network to develop future common projects. We are specially interested in meeting other organizations that also work for gender equality and legal assitance for women. We want to learn from what other projects can bring to us, at the end we are all working for the same goals and sharing perspectives can be a mean to accomplish these goals.
