Society Without Violence (SWV) was founded in 2001 and has been working on women’s empowerment, raising girls’ public awareness and participation, promoting social activism and leadership skills, as well as contributing to the establishment of an institutional system for women human rights defenders’. The mission of the organization is to share human rights skills and knowledge, educate and inspire young women and girls to become active on the political, social and cultural arena, and to empower women and girls to become leaders in defending women’s human rights.
