Amassuru

What Amassuru does

Amassuru is a non-profit, initiative-based organization that maintains a multilingual (Spanish, Portuguese, English) database and collaborative bulletin system focused on tracking and documenting gender-based violence, weapons-related violence against women, and the intersection of gender with technology. Its core offerings include a directory/database with associated statistics, a periodically published Collaborative Bulletin (Boletín Colaborativo) — featuring an extended "Costilla Rota" (Broken Rib) thematic series on bodies, weapons, and technologies — and an annual International Seminar (Seminario Internacional) for knowledge exchange among NGOs, researchers, and advocacy groups. The platform is hosted on Google Sites with localized entry points for each language, and outreach is conducted through the website, a recurring newsletter-style bulletin, and an announcements section.

The organization does not operate as a commercial enterprise: it accepts donations ("Done a Amassuru" / "Support Amassuru") rather than charging for products or services, and no pricing, revenue figures, or headcount are disclosed. Its end-users are NGOs, research institutions, and advocacy groups working on gender-based violence in Latin America and broader Lusophone and Anglophone communities. The technical footprint is intentionally lightweight — a public-facing web platform with no published API, no SDK, no mobile application, no third-party integrations, and no proprietary AI components — relying instead on curated content and a collaborative contributor model ("Súmate a la iniciativa / Join the initiative") to populate the database and bulletin.

Direct peers

• Tactical Tech Collective: International non-profit that produces research and public resources on how technology intersects with society, including gender-based and political harms. It is comparable to Amassuru as a multilingual, research-and-advocacy initiative that publishes accessible knowledge products on technology harms.
• Red en Defensa de los Derechos Digitales (R3D): Mexican civil-society organization that documents and advocates on the intersection of digital technologies and human rights, including gender. It is comparable to Amassuru as a Spanish-language, non-profit research and advocacy initiative that combines a public database/directory with policy-facing publications.
• Fundación Karisma: Colombian non-profit that investigates the social impact of technology, with explicit programs on gender and digital rights. Karisma is comparable to Amassuru as a Latin American, Spanish-language organization producing research outputs, databases, and public-facing analyses on technology and vulnerable groups.
• Coding Rights: Brazilian civil-society organization that researches the social and gender implications of technology and data. It is comparable to Amassuru because both produce Portuguese/Spanish research outputs focused on gender and technology harms from a Global South perspective.

Broad incumbents

• Article 19: International freedom-of-expression organization with regional offices that document abuses and produce research on expression, gender, and technology. It is comparable as a larger incumbent producing trilingual research and a public knowledge base in adjacent thematic territory.
• Access Now: Global digital-rights organization that produces research, policy papers, and convenings on technology and human rights, including gender. Access Now is comparable to Amassuru as a broader incumbent publishing multilingual research outputs on technology-facilitated harms, though it operates at significantly larger scale.
• Association for Progressive Communications (APC): International network of civil-society organizations working on ICTs for social justice, including gender rights. APC is comparable as a larger, established incumbent in the same thematic space (technology + gender/human rights) that operates a multilingual knowledge base, policy work, and convenings similar to Amassuru's bulletin and seminar model.

Regional players

• Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF): International women's peace organization with explicit programs on women, weapons, and armed violence. WILPF is comparable to Amassuru for its overlapping thematic focus on gender and weapons, though it is organized regionally and does not specialize in the technology dimension.

Emerging players

• Witness: International non-profit that uses technology (video and other tools) to document and address human-rights abuses, including gender-based violence. Witness is comparable as an organization that combines a documentation platform with research outputs and convenings targeting similar advocacy and research audiences.
• International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA): Global civil-society network focused on small-arms control with explicit programming on gender and armed violence. IANSA is comparable as a multilingual, multi-issue advocacy initiative that publishes research and maintains a knowledge base on weapons harms affecting women, overlapping Amassuru's gender-and-weapons scope.
