AWAM is an independent
feminist organisation committed to improving the lives of women in Malaysia.
Our vision is to create a just and equitable society where women are
treated with respect, and free from all forms of violence and discrimination.
Towards this, we inform,
connect and mobilise those interested in:
- Securing women's
rights
- Bringing about
gender equality
- Supporting women
in crisis
|
We also build the capacities
of those who work for women's empowerment and social transformation.
To keep up with change and to remain effective, we regularly evaluate,
plan and monitor our work.

AWAM
operates on the strength of a dynamic
group of volunteer members and a pool of dedicated
staff. Both are responsible for the direction and policies
of the organisation. The latter also ensures the smooth running
of day-to-day activities. We build
strategic alliances to achieve our objectives and
how
we work
belong to various
networks such as Joint Action
Group [against violence against women], the National Women's Coalition,
the Womens's Agenda for Change, and government agencies
[hospitals, welfare department and police]. We actively
fundraise to run
our programmes and provide vital services to women.
