To increase levels of knowledge and understanding of the dynamics of gender-based violence, the gendered aspects of the HIV/Aids pandemic, women's and girls' sexual and reproductive health, as well as women's human rights.

To increase the realization of gender equality through the promulgation and implementation of relevant laws and related policies.
-
To ensure accountability at all levels of government and other political institutions.
