Leaflet with general information on the activities of the Area Cultures, Genders and Sexualities of UNAF

2. UNAF is a Public Interest NGO which has been working to defend
the rights and welfare of all families, since 1988. We are formed
by more than 20 associations working in this field from different
perspectives (health, migration, interculturality, equality, the
fight against gender violence, functional diversity, etc.) with an
inclusive approach to family diversity.
For more than ten years, we have been developing projects to
promote Sexual and Reproductive Rights for all through sexual
health and education and prevention of Female Genital Mutila-
tion, from a feminist, intercultural and human rights approach.
Social awareness is our main field of work, which we carry out
through delivering training sessions, conferences and workshops
to professionals (health, education, social services, etc.), and
migrant and displaced populations, in collaboration with other
NGOs, social and educational bodies together with developing,
editing and distributing materials.

3. Our aim is to support
social change and transform
reality, through strengthening skills
and competences for empowerment
and personal development and
promoting networks, alliances and
shared workspace, with creativity,
innovation and coherence, we seek to
improve the quality of life of
migrant families and, especially,
of women and girls.

4. UNAF has run
workshops involving
the participation of more
than 800 migrant and diaspora
women. 5,000 professionals have
been trained through our courses,
seminars and conferences and
we have distributed more than
100,000 copies of our
teaching and awareness
materials.
We defend
the recognition of the
key figure of the
intercultural mediator,
an essential agent for
promoting dialogue and
social cohesion, on whom
we rely to carry out our
activities.
