To strengthen community and civil society responses to violence against women and children in Africa.
MIFUMI core values
At MIFUMI we take our values and principles seriously. As a growing community of grassroots activists and human rights defenders committed to ending gender-based violence it is our utmost interest to; maintain a woman-centred approach to ending abuse, protect and ensure women and children’s safety, empower survivors to resist violence and demand the rights of women.
Woman centered approach
MIFUMI believes that violence against women is a result of historically unequal power relations between men and women that are reflected in existing gender relationships in society. We realise these unequal displays of power often place women in a position of societal disadvantage.
MIFUMI’s main responsibility is to women because they are disproportionately subjected to violence and abuse compared with men therefore we prioritise and focus on services for women and children experiencing violence and abuse
