Federación de Mujeres Progresistas

What Federación de Mujeres Progresistas does

Federación de Mujeres Progresistas (FMP) is a Madrid-headquartered, Spanish state-level non-governmental organization founded in 1987 and declared of public utility. It operates as a federated network of associations across all Spanish autonomous communities — Asturias, Aragon, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castilla y León, Catalonia, Ceuta, Extremadura, La Rioja, Madrid, Melilla, Murcia, Navarre, and Valencia among others — reaching approximately 23,000 members and providing direct services through regional federations. Its service portfolio spans comprehensive care for gender-based violence victims (AURA Center), employment counseling and entrepreneurship support (Emprender en Femenino), women's health programs, coeducation, and consulting on Equality Plans delivered to Third Sector entities, private companies, and public administration (over 100 organizations served since 2009). Supporting digital infrastructure includes an online training campus (campus.fmujeresprogresistas.org), a DATA FEM open data observatory on gender statistics, and the El Altavoz digital newsletter.

FMP's revenue model is structured as a non-profit federation with multiple funding streams. Primary income comes from public grants and subsidies — including EU NextGenerationEU funds and allocations from the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030, the Ministry of Inclusion/Social Security/Migration, and the Madrid Community — alongside individual and institutional donations processed through an online platform and BIZUM (ONG code 07787). The organization also generates revenue through specialized consulting on Equality Plans and technical assistance, as well as corporate volunteering partnerships structured around corporate social responsibility programs. All direct beneficiary services are free; consulting services are fee-based.

FMP maintains senior leadership positions across key Spanish and international gender-equality institutions: Presidency of POAS, Vice Presidency of the Third Sector Platform, Vice Presidency of the State Observatory against Gender Violence, Presidency of UNAF, and ECOSOC Consultative Status. The federation is governed by a Board of Directors elected at the General Assembly, most recently renewed in June 2022 with Yolanda Besteiro De la Fuente re-elected as President, a position she has held since 2007.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Plataforma CEDAW Sombra España: Coalition of Spanish women's NGOs producing shadow reports on Spain's compliance with the CEDAW Convention; intersects with FMP's advocacy work but is a coalition rather than a service-delivery organization.

Broad incumbents

• UN Women: United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and women's empowerment; FMP's ECOSOC consultative status places it in direct institutional relationship with UN Women.
• Médicos del Mundo España: Spanish humanitarian health NGO with intersecting gender-based violence, migrant women, and sexual/reproductive health programs; comparable grant-funded model and beneficiary segments to FMP.
• Instituto de las Mujeres: Spanish government agency for gender equality policy and programs; FMP's institutional counterparts (e.g., Vice Presidency of State Council of Women) operate through this body.
• Cruz Roja Española: Larger Spanish humanitarian NGO with substantial gender-based violence and migrant women programs; overlaps FMP's victim-assistance and migrant-women service lines at significantly greater scale.

Direct peers

• AIETI (Asociación de Investigación y Especialización sobre Temas Iberoamericanos): Spanish NGO focused on women's rights, gender equality, and migrant women integration; competes with FMP for similar Spanish ministry and EU grants across overlapping beneficiary segments.
• Women's Link Worldwide: International gender equality NGO with significant Spain-based operations using litigation and advocacy; comparable to FMP in mission but operates through legal/strategic rather than direct service delivery.
• Fundación Mujeres: Spanish national gender equality foundation providing employment support, violence victim assistance, and equality consulting — directly overlapping with FMP's service portfolio and target beneficiaries.
• Amnesty International Spain: Spanish section of global human rights NGO with active gender equality and women's rights campaigns; competes with FMP for institutional donor attention and policy influence.

Regional players

• CEAR (Comisión Española de Ayuda al Refugiado): Spanish refugee assistance NGO serving migrant and displaced women — directly overlapping with FMP's GOLONDRINAS migrant women program and forced marriages work, though CEAR's scope is broader than FMP's.
