A word from the Country Director

Women Lead Movement Madagascar stands as a force in the landscape of social change, a registered non-profit organization that champions the cause of women's rights and social inclusion within the tapestry of Madagascar. At the heart of our mission lies a firm commitment to dismantle barriers and amplify voices that have historically been marginalized. With determination, we spearhead initiatives that traverse the realms of policy, culture, and societal norms, paving a path towards greater gender equality and inclusivity.

As a CSO member, we have harnessed the power of structured advocacy, channelling our efforts to make tangible impacts on the lives of women across the nation. Through strategic partnerships, rigorous research, data collections and targeted interventions, we confront the deep-rooted challenges that hinder the realization of women's rights.

With each step forward, we are willing to contribute to a future where every woman's rights are respected, where opportunities are not limited by gender, and where the tapestry of Madagascar's social fabric is enriched by the vibrant hues of inclusion.
