Our Ambition

Prejudice and discrimination harms individuals, communities and society. BEING WOMAN is a charitable incorporated organisation based in Northumberland, United Kingdom. We work towards to empower women with the knowledge, skills and confidence to challenge all forms of prejudice and discrimination in the society. 

Our Objectives:

1: The promotion of equality and diversity for the public benefit by: 

(a) the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of race, gender, disability , sexual orientation or religion; 

(b) advancing education and raising awareness in equality and diversity; 

(c) promoting activities to foster understanding between people from diverse backgrounds; 

(d) conducting or commissioning research on equality and diversity issues and publishing the results to the public; 

(e) cultivating a sentiment in favour of equality and diversity. 

2. To advance the education of, in particular but not exclusively, women by the provision of: (a) 1:1 sessions and workshops, in particular but not exclusively, in the subject of basic digital skills that results in a qualification being obtained that assists with improving the beneficiaries chances of securing future employment. 

We firmly believe that it is critical to engage boys and men to achieve gender equality. We therefore run all our programmes  in collaboration with girls and women-boys and men from all different areas of the society. 

This year we would like to support more than 1,000 young girls and women across Pakistan and UK through a range of proven programmes, with three in four achieving a positive outcome.

We have a bold ambition to extend the reach and impact of our work and help one million more young girls and women to transform their lives over the next five years across UK and Pakistan. Our job is to inspire them, support them and release their potential, so that they can thrive and society can prosper. We will focus on innovation, to ensure we adapt and remain relevant in a rapidly changing world. We owe it to ourselves and the girls and women we serve, to do the best work of our lives and to help give them an increasing stake in our economy and society. They are the key to a positive and prosperous future for all of us.

We partner with local and nationwide organisations, local authorities, schools, criminal justice education services and others, to deliver workshops and educational programmes to young girls and women in a variety of settings, predominantly in an educational setting. Our interactive and impactful programmes include an exhibition of their life and diary, combined with workshops, peer education and an ambassador programme.
