Wikis > Abaad MENA
ABAAD (Resource) centre for gender eqabaadlogo2014uality – is a non-profit, non-politically affiliated, non-religious civil association founded in June 2011 with the aim of promoting sustainable social and economic development in the MENA region through equality, protection, and empowerment of marginalised groups, especially women.

A pioneer organisation, in both Lebanon and the MENA region, Abaad envisions a world where:

  • Men and women live as equitable partners and work together to secure better lives for their future and the future of the societies they live in.
  • Women are effectively empowered and participate in democratic processes that affect their lives and their communities.
  • Men are willingly and effectively engaged in working towards achieving an equitable society free of hegemonic masculinities and the different types of violence against women.
  • Women have fair access to the economic assets and the natural resources within their communities.
  • Women live in freedom, dignity, and inner peace without facing discrimination.

ABAAD is made of a dynamic pool of resources, human rights activists, lawyers, experts in their fields, social workers, and researchers that are all dedicated towards achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment.

ABAAD seeks to promote equality and active participation through policy development, legal reform, gender mainstreaming, eliminating discrimination, in addition to supporting the advancement of women and empowering them to participate effectively and fully in their communities.
