Who we are

The Feminist Space has as a MISSION to contribute to the empowerment of women, from the feminist perspective, through educational processes of political formation and intervention in public policies, aiming at the full participation of women in political life and the realization of their human rights . By choosing as the central axis the social exclusion and inequality of gender and race relations, the Feminist Space adopts as a methodological reference the creation of the conditions that allow the autonomous subjects to break with their condition of extreme poverty and overcome the inequalities to which they are subjected .

  • Equity of gender and race and ethnicity
  • Equity of representation and political participation
  • Enforceability of women's rights
  • Intervention in policies to combat inequalities
  • Recognition of the right of all peoples to nature

This principle is based on the understanding of the interrelation between the various types of oppression against women and, consequently, on the need to fight for equity in these spheres, acting to transform reality.

Without equity in political representation and participation women's demands and rights become invisible in the power and decision-making spaces where laws are made and public policies defined.

The enforceability of rights constitutes one of the ways to achieve equity. In this sense, the construction of a conscience with the women of the importance of fighting and demanding their rights is the first step towards their experience.

Social control is the basis of the main elements of democracy, such as political participation, the exercise of citizenship and dialogue. Therefore, the monitoring of public policies in order to influence them should be a priority for social organizations that seek to combat inequalities.

Nature and human being make up a symbiosis. There is no life without this integration. Therefore, this right constitutes a right to one's own survival.
