Over the past 28 years, MADRE has built a network of community-based women’s organizations worldwide. This network encompasses thousands of women and families – in Sudan, Iraq, Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti, Guatemala, Kenya, Peru, Colombia, Panama, Palestine, Afghanistan, Bolivia, and elsewhere – who are on the frontlines of our global crisis. Yet, as part of the MADRE network, they know that change is not only possible – it is already happening.
Through our programs in peace building, women’s health & combating violence against women, and economic & environmental justice, MADRE develops innovative social and political strategies that:

• deliver resources and support to women and families,
• use human rights advocacy to promote social justice,
• research and offer alternative solutions to educate and inspire people to action, and
• work for an equitable distribution of resources to sustain social change.
