Politics4Her is focused on five goals

Politics4Her is led by the following principles

At Politics4Her, we believe that every person deserves to have their human rights protected and their voices heard in the political process. That's why our activities are grounded in a human rights-based approach, ensuring that the needs and perspectives of all individuals are taken into account.

We also recognize that gender equality cannot be achieved without addressing intersecting forms of discrimination based on race, class, sexuality, and other factors. That's why intersectionality is at the core of all our activities, ensuring that we work towards creating a more just and equitable society for all.

We are committed to supporting the next generation of changemakers, particularly young women and youth, who are often marginalized and excluded from political decision-making. Through capacity building and mentorship programs, we aim to empower these individuals to become leaders and advocates for gender equality and women's rights.

But we know that true change requires more than just individual empowerment - it also requires policy change. That's why we are dedicated to leading the charge for policy change, advocating for laws and policies that support gender equality and women's rights at all levels of government.

We also recognize the importance of dialogue and collaboration in creating lasting change. By opening dialogue between communities and policymakers, we can ensure that policies and decisions are informed by the needs and perspectives of those who are directly affected by them.

Ultimately, our goal is to invest in women, youth, and changemakers to create tangible change in the world. By working together, we can create a society that is more equitable, just, and inclusive for all.
