United Societies Over Straits - USoS

OUR VISION To be the most influential organization in preserving women's rights and achieving her equality, and a pioneer in woman empowerment in Lebanon and around the world. OUR MISSION As motherhood was always a potential role for women, the mother was considered to be the school of values, ethics, and lifestyles. Since our mission was based on an educational and teaching strategy, to prepare the mother for playing her vital role in bringing up that generation which carries all principles and fair values that every nation needs, thus we aim to achieve the following goals: Educate women and acknowledge them of their rights and obligations, support, and empower them at all levels until equality is served. Having those mothers prepared, they will be able to raise a generation that carries these values and ideology, and inherits them all the way to the generations to come, in order to pervade equality and justice in society, with everyone obtaining their legitimate rights. Not only will equality be served, but the mother will also be prepared for the child's care, education, and protection. She will teach her children the good relationships, organizing, volunteering, preserving the environment, safety, health, and nutrition that we have taught her. Thus, by preparing the mother, we do create a strong, healthy, and safe society built and protected by all its components equally. OBJECTIVES AND GOALS Women's empowerment is a major factor in achieving equality. In order to empower women, we need knowledge and awareness. As well, men will be a part of our activities as an influencing component to achieve our objectives in women's support and protecting them from gender-based violence. Thus, when a woman is empowered by knowledge and skills, besides the support of her society, only then she can play her role so efficiently in society side by side to man and therefore regain all her rights in sharing men build the nation equally. Our objectives are Holding awareness sessions repeatedly throughout the year, to which we invite young women and mothers, to spread knowledge about the importance of women's role in their society, as well as inviting men to separate sessions to make them learn the necessity of their support to women and to change the traditional look towards them, in order to enable women to be productive and supportive. Holding life skills workshops regularly and continuously throughout the year to provide women with knowledge, skills, and competence in various fields and industries… such as beauty, hospitality, management, technology, communication, healthy cooking… etc., of which the society needs or lack.
