The Fund’s principal aim is the provision of support for those individuals and associations likely to change discriminatory legislation and to facilitate the evolution of attitudes in their countries. It also takes into consideration the demands made by women’s associations to exchange their experiences, create networks and help to develop peace, solidarity and environmental protection in the region.
