BATIK International is a solidarity association that works to strengthen the power of choice and action of vulnerable individuals and communities in France and internationally, in order to contribute to more egalitarian and inclusive societies. To this end, the association aims to support empowerment processes, particularly for women and gender minorities, youth, and migrants, to reveal their talents, so that they regain the power to build a better future and become agents of transformation in their lives. This work is reinforced by rights promotion, awareness-raising, and advocacy initiatives that promote lasting and sustainable solutions, and by any other means likely to contribute to the fight for social justice and equality. To ensure the sustainability of the actions implemented, we also offer support to our partners, civil society organizations in the regions where the programs are implemented. Because women find themselves at the intersection of several inequalities, the association places gender equality at the heart of its actions.
