Blue-Veins

Vision

Blue Veins has a vision of a world where women live healthy, educated, free, and safe lives.

Where equality and dignity is a right, not a privilege. Where women spend their lives creating and thriving, rather than surviving victimization and recovering from atrocities. We envision a world where women and girls enjoy equal protection and fulfillment of their human rights, and share power in directing institutions, guiding communities, and leading societies and nations.

Women and girls shall have full access to the information, resources, training, and employment opportunities they need in order to overcome social, legal and economic barriers, and to participate in decision making, and claiming their human rights
