From the very outset, AWAM has been dedicated to educating local communities about human rights and human rights protection mechanisms and imparting information among the local communities about social protection schemes and social security benefits. The organization started by forming community groups in different localities of Faisalabad, capacitating them to communicate their issues and concerns with key authorities and political decision-makers. This effort focuses on (a) introducing new policies, (b) reforming existing laws and policies concerning women, minorities, and persons with disabilities, and (c) strengthening human rights protection mechanisms.

In this regard, the AWAM frequently arranges training workshops for capacitating the local community leaders for equipping them with skills to take advocacy initiatives to influence the authorities and political decision makers for having new laws, reforms in existing laws and policies, and introducing affirmative measures to protect and promote the rights of marginalized sections of society including working women of informal sectors including women home based and domestic workers, persons with disabilities, and religious minorities.

The AWAM has established different groups on different issues such as Women Human Rights Defender Forums (WHRDF), Association of Women Home Based and Domestic Workers, Local Advocacy Group (LAG), Minority Caucus (MC), Disability Rights Action Group (DRAG), and District Action Committee (DAC) for Social Harmony, Young Resilient Women Circle (YRWC). These groups have engaged diverse stakeholders such as human rights defenders and trade union activists, women home based and domestic workers, youth, religious clergy [Pastors and Muslim Clerics] journalists, columnists and media personnels, members of bar association, representatives of academia [including faculty members, research students], former parliamentarians, representatives of mainstream political parties, and representatives of local government office.

Gradually, AWAM has significantly enhanced its organizational structure and governance framework. The AWAM has a Governing Body consisting of seven members elected by the General Body. Additionally, AWAM has established a Young Feminists Council (YFC), comprising five members aged 18-25 from diverse fields.
