About [Edit]
CFEMEA Feminist Center for Studies and Advisory Services is a non-governmental, non-profit organization that works for the citizenship of women and gender equality. It fights for a just and democratic society and State in an autonomous and non-partisan way.
Founded on feminist thought, CFEMEA actively participates in the national women's movement, and integrates with international feminist networks, especially in Latin America. It also participates in different initiatives against racism.
The center is led by a Deliberative Council and a Collective Directory. It works with a Consultant Council, a Specialist Committee, and a Fiscal Council.

* Contribute to the strengthening of women's and feminist movements, participating in networking, and reinforcing both dialogues with other social movements and arguments with the established powers.
