Objective
My goal is to contribute to advancing the status of women in both rural and urban areas by promoting their empowerment, strengthening their capacities, defending their fundamental rights, combating all forms of violence against them, and supporting their economic and legal independence. In doing so, I aim to help ensure their full integration into the societal development process.
