Everything
started
in 1991
with the
actions
accomplished
within
the
structures
of the
Democratic
Action
Foundation
and
International
Women’s
Foundation.
In
October
1993,
the
Centre
for the
Advancement
of Women
Foundation
was
registered
as an
independent
non-profit
non-governmental
organization.
Our
mission
is to:
Shape
the
awareness
of women
and men
on the
principles
of
equalitys.
The
essential
condition
to
accomplish
our
mission
boils
down to
a
stronger
involvement
of women
in
professional,
political,
and
social
life. In
our
activity
we focus
on
supporting
women in
their
development
so that
their
attitudes,
skills,
and
knowledge,
are
continuously
perfected
and
allow
them to
take
better
and
higher
positions
in
society.
We help
women
fulfil
themselves
in
various
activities
that
should
be
a source
of joy
and
satisfaction.
What we
consider
of key
importance
the
shaping
of
attitudes.
In all
our
programmes,
both in
training
and
counselling,
we
consider
of
utmost
importance
the
consolidating
of
women’s
self-esteem,
motivation,
increasing
efficiency,
of the
ability
to make
choices
and
decisions,
the
taking
over
control
of their
own life.
Our
programmes
target
women
who want
to
achieve
more in
life,
but
do not
necessarily
know how
to do it.
Our
Clients
are
women
of
different
age, of
different
educational
background,
of
different
life
values
that
they
pursue.
Among
our
Clients
you will
find
women
who are
having
problems
with
finding
employment,
with
keeping
their
jobs,
with
promotions.
There
are also
women
who want
to make
herself
prominent
or
function
better
in
public
life.
Take a
look at
our
offer.
You will
certainly
find
something
suitable
for
yourself.
Our
activity
is
possible
thanks
to
various
national,
foreign,
and
international
programmes.
We have
also
been
involved
in
implementing
and
partnering
of
various
EU
projects.
We are
full of
plans
and
ideas
for new
programmes.
Over
50,000
women
have so
far
taken
advantage
of our
support.
We are
happy to
see that
our
Clients
“get
under
sail”
(as one
Of the
participants
of our
trainings
has said).
This is
all
possible
thanks
to the
cooperation
of
experienced
trainers
supported
by
programmes
worked
out
specially
for the
Foundation
and
taking
into
account
the
specific
situation
of women.
Our
activity
also
focuses
on the
survey
of the
situation
of women
on the
labour
market.
The
Foundation
has
contributed
to a
number
of
studies
trying
to solve
the
problems
of equal
opportunities
for
women
and men
on the
labour
market.
We also
author
the
‘Directory
of
Women’s
Organizations
and
Initiatives
in
Poland”.
In 2005
it will
be
issued
and
updated
for the
fifth
time.
