Vision Statement:
'Justice to the Neglected and Empowerment of the Weak' and `Equality of Opportunity to All' are the cornerstones of Odanadi's philosophy.
The Objectives of Odanadi:

• To prevent women and children from being drawn into the flesh trade.
• To rescue women and children forced into prostitution and expose the crimes of flesh trade.
• To eradicate the social taboo and rejection by the public through sensitisation of various social and peer groups.
• To expose human rights violations against women and children in all sections of society.
• To provide support to women and children affected by domestic violence and other social-economic problems.
• To assist in the prevention of rural-urban migration, which is a major contributor to urban prostitution.
• To combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic and provide care to the terminally-afflicted.
