Every society in Kachin State, including across Myanmar, embraces and practices a gender equality approach, and both Kachin State and the wider country are developed and able to maintain sustainable peace.

HTOI Gender is forming local women's networks in five districts (Myitkyina, Bhamo, Moe Nyin, Tanai and Putao) of Kachin State to eliminate discrimination, address the lack of equal rights, combat the oppression that women face due to harmful social norms in our environment, and empower women in decision-making roles.

HTOI's Gender, GBV, and Humanitarian Program works to protect women and girls by promoting gender equality, preventing gender-based violence and human trafficking, and supporting survivors to access justice, environment protection and sustainable livelihoods across villages and IDP camps in Kachin State.
