Mission and Vision

We’re working to make the world a better place to live for everyone. Everyone needs a helping hand at some point in their lives. And it’s our goal to be there when you need us most. MOPGEL believes that gendered economic inequalities make up the most persistent and significant of all global gender gaps–contributing factor remains the underlying gender norms that keep women and girls excluded from economic gains. Often, economic interventions and approaches pay no attention to gender norms, and fail to explicitly tackle what continues to inhibit women’s and girls’ rights and empowerment.

Our Mission

Our mission is to work with community leaders in Des Moines Iowa, USA, and community and traditional leaders in Liberia to transform gendered norms, and practices that are forms of discrimination; which impede the human rights of individuals, primarily women and girls. Those issues arise from gender inequality and discriminatory values, which lead to unequal power relations in communities and societies that lead to violence against women and girls.

Vision

We believe in a World where everyone, women, girls, men and boys get the opportunity they need for self-confidence to achieve their dreams.
