  • Missão

    At DWoSO Initiative, our aim is to empower women and girls, providing them with the tools and knowledge to reach their full potential, become leaders in their communities, and live life on their own terms. We advocate for gender equality, challenging existing norms to ensure everyone enjoys equal rights, opportunities, and respect. We understand the profound impact of poverty on women and girls, working to eradicate it through economic empowerment. Raising awareness about women's and girls' rights, health, and well-being is crucial for building informed, empowered communities. Our values include equality, integrity, competence, social and economic justice, and service. We are unwavering in our commitment to a more equitable, just society, tirelessly working to improve the lives of women and girls.

    Sobre Nós

    Founded in 2017 by a young African intersectional feminist leader, DWoSO Initiative emerged from the collective efforts of young Ghanaian feminists who shared a vision to empower rural women and girls in Ghana. In 2021, we officially registered as a not-for-profit entity, providing structure for our advocacy and expanding our reach.

    Our goals are ambitious, with a focus on women and girls' development, including those living with disabilities, HIV/AIDS, and Queer women. We operate projects in five Ghanaian regions: Central, Ashanti, Western, Western North, and Volta. These projects include Consent Matters, Speak Up, Clean Period, Vote4Women, One Skill Reduces Poverty, Women in WASH, and Girl-Mentorship, all working towards creating a more equitable society where women and girls can thrive.
