Mission & Vision

Who We Are : Our Approach and Collective Impact

At Hami DajuVai (HDV), we believe that achieving gender equality is not just about empowering women—it requires a fundamental shift in societal mindsets and structures. For too long, patriarchal norms have dictated the roles and expectations of individuals, limiting opportunities and reinforcing inequality. We recognize that sustainable change can only be achieved when men, boys, and young people are actively engaged in the fight for gender justice.With this belief at our core, we strive to challenge harmful gender norms, promote positive masculinity, and create inclusive spaces for dialogue and action. Our mission and vision reflect our commitment to building a future where every individual, regardless of gender identity, enjoys equal rights, opportunities, and dignity.

We envision a just, inclusive, and gender-equal society where everyone has the freedom to express themselves, pursue their aspirations, and participate fully in all aspects of life—without fear of discrimination or oppression.HDV is committed to fostering a world where patriarchal structures are dismantled, and gender-based injustices are no longer barriers to progress. We see a future where men and boys take responsibility in advocating for gender justice, and women and marginalized communities have equal access to leadership, opportunities, and decision-making spaces.
