Abala Foundation is a private foundation/non-profit organization based in Bangladesh. It aims to become the voice of the voiceless in the society. It works primarily for the needy- oppressed, woman, youth, orphan, old, widow, handicap, refugees, marginalized, and vulnerable- people by helping them to gain their inherent dignity as well as to fulfill, protect and promote their fundamental human rights. It hopes to empower those who can’t speak up and encourage talking about the thorny/controversial issues which are obstacles for mainstreaming human rights and transparency in the society. The foundation also works in partnership with opinion makers, media, civil society and grassroots organizations to contribute toward creating a society based on gender equity, rule of law, and justice.
