VISION
It is IIADRA’s vision through WAW to create equal representation for women in the field of global ADR, by the year 2030, across all levels – students, academicians, young practitioners and senior practitioners. The aim is to see the women across the world acing the arena of ADR in all capacities including arbitrator, mediator, expert, adjudicator, facilitator, lawyer, neutral or ombudswoman.
IIADRA is paving its way to advance women involvement internationally in the field of ADR, above the gender disparity. WAW targets to evolve as an international platform for all women ADR practitioners from all over the globe providing opportunity for the professionals and users to interact and understand their respective needs, so as to promote the quality of dispute resolution process.
The ultimate objective of ADR mechanisms is to restore harmony in the lives of individuals and the community and WAW believes that women are better equipped to understand and consequently resolve conflict for they make interest-based choices as opposed to position-based. By promoting and training this innate capability, we aim to empower women to turn this skill into a professional career, which can be brought to use in various settings like schools, prisons, national and international institutions and ultimately in making the world a better place to live.
