Mission Statement

To advance women’s human rights by meeting urgent needs in communities and building lasting solutions to the crises women face.

About This Cause

How MADRE Makes Change: To advance social justice, women must be equipped to both improve conditions in their communities and advocate for human rights. When grassroots women’s organizations provide vital services to their communities, women can build new skills, step up as leaders and mobilize for rights-based policies. Local women's organizations play a vital role in translating human rights standards from paper to practice to create social justice. MADRE strengthens grassroots women's organizations in war, disaster and their aftermath. MADRE supports our partners to meet urgent community needs and trains and accompanies women to effect long-term change. MADRE galvanizes people around the world in support of our partners' demands by shaping public opinion and policy.
