We believe in the personhood of indigenous women, and that our rights are an inalienable, indivisible and integral part of universal human rights.

Diversity:
We believe in non-discrimination, proactive inclusiveness and diversity in all areas of IWEN’s operations and programmes.

Feminist Leadership:
We believe in nurturing feminist principles and promoting feminist leadership.

Professionalism, Accountability and Stewardship:
We believe in the growth and long-term sustainability of organisations led and managed by women in transparent and progressive ways.
