Active Women Association

Active Women Association is a non-governmental women organization that acts for gender equality and empowerment of women.

It was formed in 2002 by Halina Sobańska to promote women’s participation in the social, professional and political life, to introduce the idea of self-development and education among women and take actions towards limiting violence against women and girls.

Organization is strongly devoted in calling for improving social, legal, political, economic status of women. Providing services to individual women deepens our collective understanding of the needs and concerns in our community.
