The aims of Seven on Tour is to bring women’s rights issues higher on the political and media agenda, raise awareness and engagement, and to stimulate the debate on women’s role in society. The Swedish Institute, The Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Amnesty International, United Nations Development Program, womens shelters etc. have all cooperated with Seven on Tour to promote democracy and human rights.

As a result, Seven on Tour has helped improve bilateral cooperation, as well as strengthened cooperation between stakeholders from grass root to governmental level and empowered individual activists in their local communities. The readings are often linked to activities with a focus on human rights such as panel discussions, seminars and lectures for students.
