What we stand for
Women and girls at the heart of change
We believe that communities are stronger when women and girls can participate, lead and make decisions that affect their lives. SILA works to create opportunities for women and girls to exercise their rights, build their capacities and contribute to the development of their communities.
Safer communities. Stronger voices.
We promote protection, dignity and equality while supporting women’s meaningful participation in peacebuilding and local governance. Through awareness, advocacy, capacity building and community engagement, we work toward communities where everyone can live, participate and thrive without discrimination or violence.
How we work
We turn our commitment into action through community-based programmes, training and workshops, research and data collection, networking, advocacy and awareness activities. We work with communities and partners to develop practical, inclusive and sustainable solutions.
