Our focus

Gender
equality

Mensen met een Missie is dedicated to increase gender equality in local communities. We seek to change convictions that lead to discrimination, exclusion and violence. We tap into the transformative power of faith and engage with religious leaders to promote alternatives. In furthering gender equality, we work with women, men, communities, local governments and women leaders. Our strategic priorities are: countering gender-based violence; women, peace and security; human trafficking.

Interethnic
tolerance

To address ethnic and religious conflicts Mensen met een Missie and its partners facilitate dialogue and cooperation across divides. We provide alternatives to harmful beliefs that lead to hatred and violence. In all conflicts there are people who believe that peaceful coexistence is possible and who act on this. It is those peace champions that we seek to support.

Freedom of
Religion and Belief

Through its FoRB programming, Mensen met een Missie stimulates positive forces within and between religious communities for more peaceful and inclusive societies. We leverage the constructive role of religious actors. Together with our partners, we address harmful norms and narratives within religious communities, stimulate cooperation between religions and show that different religious traditions can come together in a common vision for a better and fairer society.

What we do

Mensen met een Missie is a Netherlands-based organisation for international cooperation that is committed to changing beliefs that lead to discrimination, exclusion and violence across the globe. Beliefs such as: men have more rights than women, one religion is better than another, or a person of a particular origin is worth more than others.

 

In order to change these beliefs, we initiate and facilitate dialogue, provide a platform for positive role models and offer support to victims of violence.
