Strategies

Vision: With an emphasis on interdisciplinary discourse, the Future Women’s Health Research Center serves as an institutional base for research, intellectual exchange and collaboration on women’s issues. FWHRC aims to become a center effective enough to be involved in policy-making and national planning on women’s issues and to serve as a think-tank in the field. This vision has driven us to uphold the motto “perceiving women, perceiving life.”

Mission:  Empowerment of women and girls particularly those who, due to their deprivation of access to social and economic resources and opportunities, cannot affect the social development process and are vulnerable to socio-psychological harm. FWHRC tries, through scientific, research, educational and advocacy programs, to develop the fullest potential of girls and women and promote their full and equal participation in building a better world for all, as well as enhancing their role in the development process.

Action Plan
1. To establish and develop scientific\research cooperation, intellectual exchange and collaboration with other national and international academic centers working on women and gender studies and issues of FWHRC’s interest
2. To promote special case studies, descriptive analysis and also to conduct secondary analysis that is to evaluate previous research projects
3. To evaluate the services provided by other organizations both governmental and non-governmental, and to study their productivity and effectiveness  
4.To encourage and develop inter and multidisciplinary research projects
5.To emphasize gender justice and make it the motif of all of FWHRC’s research projects
6. To reinforce the effectiveness of FWHRC’s research results and findings on state policies and national programs
7. To develop the scientific and research capabilities of researchers and others concerned
8. To support relevant research projects in line with FWHRC’s priorities, including research on special groups of women and those at risk such as runaway girls, wives of drug addicts and so on
9. To develop action-oriented research projects and avoid parallel and impractical research projects
10.To provide proper information services to those interested and to circulate the scientific findings of the institute
11.To consider indigenous public culture in determining priorities and carrying out research projects and also to encourage and develop localized research projects. Most problems women face can be traced to public beliefs and social attitudes so even legal reform cannot provide the answers to these problems. Thus, it is vital for the FWHRC to consider local and indigenous public culture in its research priorities.
