Association for Women's Career Development in Hungary

The Founders of the Association for Women's Career Development in Hungary (AWCDH) identified the need for a non-governmental organization to help promote women?s equality by working with and fostering the cooperation between organizations dealing with women?s issues, by taking an active role in the formulation of a common platform and helping to promote equal opportunities for women active in all major sectors of life.

The AWCDH founded in 2003 aims to advance the dialogue between legislation, government, the profit and non-profit spheres, higher education, and all potential stakeholders of AWCDH in order to meet economic, social, cultural and educational challenges. It also wishes to address issues of environmental and consumer protection.

In realizing its objectives AWCDH endeavors to adopt all positive foreign best practices within a Hungarian framework, while at the same time, it hopes to present exemplary Hungarian practices abroad by utilizing its network within the European Union and the United Nations, as an organization in consultative status with ECOSOC from 2009.

The objectives of the AWCDH have been defined in the combined spirit of national development goals, the laws on equality, EU directives, the corresponding UN Strategies and Recommendations, and European Employment Strategy.
