VISION
The unconditional right of all women to participate in social and political life is a matter of course. They are empowered to shape their lives in health, dignity and freedom, free of violence, discrimination, and exploitation. All women have access to necessary resources and legal remedies, as well as to developmental and educational opportunities.
Mission
The focus women foundation invests in selected third-party or self-initiated projects and supports their implementation. Project themes include conflict and peace work, women's rights, the elimination of violence and discrimination, socially responsible business practices, and environmental protection. The projects are sustainable and designed for the long term; they benefit the community and are exemplary. Initiated by local women's organizations, the projects are supported by these organizations independently after the initial build-up phase whenever possible. They focus on experience and knowledge sharing on a local and regional level, as well as on creating networks, with the aim of adapting, replicating and further developing projects that were implemented successfully. This enables women to be the multiplicators of their ideas.
