Since its establishment in 1994, the NANE Association has operated as a politically independent, non-profit, public benefit organization. Guided by a human rights approach, NANE has consistently championed women's rights as human rights. The Association recognizes violence against women as a pervasive, structural, and global phenomenon that transcends social, economic, and national boundaries. It views such violence as a consequence of power imbalances between women and men and an extreme form of gender-based discrimination. Eliminating this violence is fundamental to achieving social equality between women and men. These principles underpin NANE's operations and shape the organization's goals and tasks. NANE's professional activities span individual, community, and societal levels. NANE's primary objective is to improve the conditions of victims of violence against women and to build a world free from such violence. Although the state is responsible for providing effective and professional care and prevention for those affected, it often falls short. NANE steps in to offer emotional, mental, and informational support directly to victims. The Association employs a professionally grounded, feminist, trauma-focused approach that prioritizes the rights and needs of victims. Additionally, NANE enhances the victim assistance, protection, and prevention efforts of Hungarian social and educational systems, legislation, and law enforcement. By aggregating the experiences of those affected and advocating for their interests, NANE fosters gender equality and works to prevent violence against women through education and knowledge dissemination.
Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.
An estimated 800,000 children in the European Union are separated from an imprisoned parent on any given day. Yet few people are aware of the impact that a parent's incarceration can have on a child. Children separated from a parent in prison frequently experience multiple emotional and social difficulties associated with their parent's incarceration. They not only have to cope with the parent's absence and the disruption of the child-parent bond, but are also vulnerable to social exclusion, financial hardship, discrimination and shame. Children of Prisoners Europe (COPE) is a pan-European network which encourages innovative perspectives and practice to ensure that the rights of these children (as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Convention on Human Rights) are fully respected and that action is taken to secure their well-being and healthy development. The network is a membership-based organisation made up of non-governmental organisations and individuals across Europe and beyond, linked by a staff team based at its French headquarters. Raising awareness among child-related agencies, prison services and policymakers to the specific needs of children of prisoners and promoting initiatives that take these needs into account, the organisation is seeking to: - Expand programmes that support the child-parent relationship and help minimise violence for children with an imprisoned parent; - Introduce the child's perspective throughout the criminal justice process, from arrest to resettlement; - Foster cross-sectoral collaboration among public and private agencies involved in supporting and making decisions about children of prisoners; - Obtain better information and greater visibility for prisoners' children and influence policy at the national, European and international level on their behalf; - Promote the exchange of initiatives, expertise and good practice for children with imprisoned parents; - Enhance the competence of professionals within the field. Working to foster the promotion and provision of policies, frameworks and meaningful action on behalf of children affected by parental incarceration to protect their development and well-being, our aim is to ease the burden of the imprisonment of a parent on the child.

Since 2015, Konnekt Association has been supporting young people - high school and university students - in their conscious journey of self-discovery. Our goal is to help the growing generation develop sufficient self-awareness and adapt to the dynamic changes of the labor market, so they can find their place and live a fulfilled and content life as adults. In addition to helping young people with career orientation, we also support adults in career changes, where self-awareness development, change management, and future planning are key elements. Our projects emphasize the inclusion of disadvantaged youth in our programs and voluntary work. The work of our association and all our programs are based on learning from each other, intergenerational inspiration, and personal connections. We believe in the importance of community and offline experiences, while also integrating the development of 21st-century competencies into our practices. Our mission is to reduce the number of young people who abandon their careers or are dissatisfied with them, contributing to a society built by ambitious adults who are stable in their values and self-awareness. To date, we have helped more than 6,500 young people find their path, both within and beyond Hungary's borders. We are proud to have worked with over 1,200 volunteers since our foundation.
