ANAA Plans to:

• Develop a consensus among the human right groups in Pakistan and abroad, policy makers and concerned United Nation officials about the most effective strategy to end or mitigate violence against women with special emphasis on eradication of killing for "honour".

• Develop an informational website to connect and better inform interested people and mobilize them to discourage and stop violence against women.

• Fund Periodic advertisements and other audio-visual programs to sensitize people in Pakistan on this issue and offer encouragement to activists working in Pakistan.

• Arrange seminars, movie shows and events in Pakistan and abroad to create public awareness.

• Advocate for a bipartisan parliament committee against honour killing and abuse of women that will then nominate a panel made up of activists and respected citizens to ensure governmental support to end violence against women.
