We target our projects at women, children and young people and encourage them to lead a life of self-reliance.
We are committed to safe childbirth and maternity, for improved access to family planning as well as to the rights of women and a life free of violence.
In Switzerland we raise awareness among and inform the general public about the links between health, violence, poverty and disadvantage.
