Since the beginning of HMOW inception, its main goal was to support women and girls who are survivors of ISIS and survivors of gender-based violence in general, it focused mainly on providing safe spaces for them to be able to know themselves and overcome all that they faced through women’s help to each other and through several psychological activities.

Hope Makers organization for Women works to improve the psychological conditions of women and reintegrate them into society so that they are decision makers and can dream again and create a better future.

Our vision is to create a safe community for Yezidi women and girls, and to combat gender-based violence and discrimination by creating an environment where Yezidi women and girls are supported and respected.  HMOW strives to create an environment where all women are empowered to be their own advocates and agents of change.

Our Mission is to create a world where all Yezidi women and girls, are safe, respected, and valued. With a commitment to this goal, the organization will continue to work to raise awareness and knowledge about violence against women and create a future where equality for women is a reality.
