About US

The women's studies centre is a secular, dependent, feminist non-governmental organization. It is active in protecting and advocating for human rights and women’s’ rights; in enhancing the gender equality; and in supporting women's rights as an integral part of human rights.

To this end, the centre has been carrying out its institutional mandate in an effort to reform the traditional social, economic, political and legal structures to include the integration of women in all the development initiatives as participants and beneficiaries.
