The aims of the Tibetan Women’s Association:

• To raise global awareness of the critical situation inside Tibet, and to exert international pressure for the improvement of human rights for Tibetans living in occupied Tibet.
• To promote the social, political, and economic equality of Tibetan women, in Tibet and in Tibetan exile communities.
• To address the drastic human rights abuses committed against Tibetan women in Tibet – including rape, physical violence, and the denial of fundamental reproductive, religious, and political freedoms – and to address other cases of gender-based discrimination in the Tibetan exile communities.
• To ensure Tibetan women have access to adequate educational information about health care, child care, and family planning.
• To assist the needy in the Tibetan community through sponsorship programs that help to support economically disadvantaged families, single parents, children, nuns, the handicapped, the sick, and the
  elderly.
• To preserve and promote Tibetan culture, language, tradition, and the arts through community education, literacy, and publications.
• To join hands with the women of the world to promote peace and justice for all.
