About SNIWWOC:

SNIWWOC is committed to the empowerment of women.

We believe that women and girls live a life free from violence, they can fully realize and exercise their sexual and reproductive health and rights. When young people have access to accurate information and services on sexual and reproductive health, they can make informed decisions about their bodies and lives.
