Kvinna till Kvinna: Who we are

The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation promotes women’s rights in over 20 conflict-affected countries in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the South Caucasus. We do so by supporting more than 130 local partner organisations across the world.

Kvinna till Kvinna’s strategic course is set by the Board, while the organisation’s daily operations are led by the secretary-general, Petra Tötterman Andorff.

• Gender-based violence
• Equal participation
• Women, peace and security
• Economic empowerment

• A world of sustainable peace based on democracy and gender equality, where conflicts are solved without violence
• A world in which human rights are respected and everyone can feel safe and secure
• A world in which women have influence over decision-making and participate fully and effectively in society’s development

The Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation is able to support women in conflict-affected areas through financial support from government agencies, institutions, foundations, organisations, companies and individual private donors.
