The Founders of the Association for Women's Career Development in Hungary (AWCDH) identified the need for a non-governmental organisation for promoting women's equality focusing on the harmonisation of the interest representation of women and organisations dealing with women's issues, undertaking an active role in forming the common positions, endorsing a more characteristic representation of women's interests,  paying special attention to promoting equal opportunities to women active in the strategic sectors by drawing attention to the need of implementation of the recommendations and directives both of the European Union and the United Nations and the furthering the realization of the objectives set out in the European Employment Strategy.  

Based on the above mentioned the objectives of the AWCDH are to further the equality of women in the field of career development and to provide support to women in order to reach senior leadership positions by communicating and promoting the implementation of the EU-requirements. 

When a woman's career possibilities are limited we aim to help them with information, consultation, education and all other available means to improve their positions in the political decision making and in the labour market. 

We want to improve their career development potential because their capabilities and values are important for individual success, for the organisation and for society as a whole.

As the reconciliation of work, private and family life gains growing importance in the life of women it is essential to provide appropriate information at all time to women of different ages, leading their lives is various situations and having diverse social status to encourage their independent decision-making about their own careers according to their talents.

The AWCDH aims to advance the dialogue between legislation, government, profit- and non-profit sphere and academics and all potential stakeholders of AWCDH. In realizing its objectives AWCDH endeavours to bring forward all valuable foreign best practices  and adopt them within the Hungarian historic and cultural framework. AWCDH will also make efforts to present the Hungarian practices abroad by utilizing its network within the European Union and the United Nations.
