IWADSA´S MAIN ACTIVITIES AND THEIR IMPACT IN ADVANCING WOMEN´S HUMAN RIGHT
I - PROMOTE INFORMATION AND VALUES:
Advances and changes can only be achieved if we spread and share information; we believe that information provides freedom and power to women all around the world. By informing about human rights and our mission of compromise with women in Africa and all around the world, other associations, entities and public in general will get to know that there are NGO´s who are cooperating to accomplish equality and justice for women. Educating and Sensitizing women will help them to change their believes, and those changes will result in changes on their behaviours and actions, which will be carried in pro of equality, welfare and happiness for themselves and for all women in Africa and all over the world. With regard to the event, “African Women’s Day: Our reality, our current challenges and our achievements. Our battle for a just life”, we want to offer and present relevant and updated information and data about the current circumstances in which African Women live, inside and outside the continent.

II - PROMOTE ACTIONS :
IWADSA´s task of developing projects, programs, workshops, free services, courses, conferences and events will help to advance in women’s human rights by training them to be conscious of their role and responsibility in producing this advances and changes. Also IWADSA normally works promoting multidisciplinary projects and actions: employment-economic independence, respect and equality, psychological-personal independence, respect and equality, health respect, independence and equality, and social and cultural independence, respect and equality of women; because we are conscious that changes and advances need to be achieve and done in multiple areas of women’s life, so, that’s why we focus on intervening in different areas of their lives. Regarding to the event, “African Women’s Day: Our reality, our current challenges and our achievements. Our battle for a just life”, we pretend to promote and enhance cooperation between associations, professionals and women in general, who are focused on achieving equity for women. As well, we had plan some practical courses as main content in this conference, to help women strengthen their knowledge, skills, personal identity, empowerment, self-steam, their femininity and their national identity in order to believe that: first, that they disserve all the human rights, and second, that they could fight for them and finally and most of all that they can be able to achieve them.
III - PROMOTE COLABORATION:
By promoting collaboration with bigger and smaller NGOs and other entities or group of women we advance in rising the number of people working together and putting their efforts to change the situation of women all over the world. Also, we move forward in strengthening the actions already begun and the maintenance and prolongation of the measures and actions already taken.
