Work
Today, IWDA focuses on Asia and the Pacific. Currently we have project partnerships in Cambodia, East Timor, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Thai-Burma border, and Vanuatu.
IWDA has developed a Strategic Directions 2008-2013 document to guide our work over the next five years. The cornerstones of this work are: pathways to engaged and informed citizenship; policy influence and gender justice.
There are six program goals and three cross-cutting issues designed to focus our work in catalysing transformational change for women and girls. These are supported by 7 organisational change goals to help build a more robust, responsive and effective organisation.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“The next work of Carlyle will be entitled “Bow-Wow,” and the title-page will have a motto from the opening chapter of the Koran: “There is no error in this Book.””

“Our kids will develop a work ethic only if we require them to pay a portion of the cost of some of the things they want. They’ll learn to defer gratification the moment we stop routinely pulling out our wallets. And they’ll learn self-discipline only if we care enough to enforce reasonable limits.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“... actresses require protection in their art from blind abuse, from savage criticism. Their work is their religion, if they are seeking the best in their art, and to abuse that faith is to rob them, to dishonor them.”
—Nance O’Neil (1874–1965)
