What Fundación ChileMujeres does

Fundación ChileMujeres is a Chilean nonprofit foundation founded in 2015 with approximately 13 employees, dedicated to advancing gender equality in employment in Chile. The organization operates through four primary pillars: research, public policy advocacy, corporate engagement, and communications. Its core product portfolio includes Red·Activa (a corporate membership community of signatories), Premio Impulsa (a recognition award operational since 2016), Zoom de Género (a monthly labor-market analytical report launched in 2022), Foco Legal (a regulatory analysis and legal-advisory service), and proprietary instruments for measuring gender gaps in the workplace. The foundation also publishes periodic reports and studies, with a reported track record of 70+ studies and influence on 20+ public policies over 10 years. Leadership includes Francisca Jünemann as Presidenta Ejecutiva and María José Díaz as Gerenta General.

The foundation's business model is a non-profit operating structure with no publicly disclosed revenue. Operations are funded through corporate partnerships (member dues from Red·Activa signatories), project-based grants (including CORFO and BID for the 2024 hydrogen equity study), and academic/media partnerships. Key strategic partners include OCEC UDP, CCS, the Chilean Ministry of Finance, La Tercera/Pulso, PwC Chile, ACHS, Buk, FK Economics, and IdDC. The organization maintains formal seats in COSOC (civil society councils) of multiple ministries and CMF-aligned relationships, giving it a documented policy-influence channel. Member companies span banking (Scotiabank Chile), mining (Antofagasta Minerals, CMPC, SQM, Copec), retail (SMU, Agrosuper), services (ACHS, Willis, JetSmart), and other large Chilean and multinational corporations (CCU, Essbio, Enaex, Caja La Araucana). The foundation is geographically scoped to Chile with no disclosed expansion plans beyond the national market.

Core offering

Fundación ChileMujeres generates statistical evidence and advocates for public and corporate policies to advance gender equality in women's employment in Chile. It operates the Red·Activa corporate community, runs the Premio Impulsa gender diversity award with PwC Chile and LT Pulso, publishes the monthly Zoom de Género labor report and the annual Reporte de Indicadores de Género, and develops proprietary instruments for companies to measure gender equity and salary gaps. It also conducts policy advocacy with the Chilean Congress and executive branch, leads civic campaigns such as #SalaCunaHoy, and produces free downloadable guides and online harassment-prevention training.

Product overview

Fundación ChileMujeres is a Chilean foundation focused on gender equality in employment. Rather than a traditional software product company, it operates a portfolio of research programs, advocacy tools, and corporate engagement initiatives. The core offerings include: Red·Activa (a corporate community for gender equality), Premio Impulsa (an annual gender diversity award), Zoom de Género (monthly labor market reports with a gender lens), #SalaCunaHoy (civic campaign), Instruments (salary equity and company assessment tools), Foco Legal (monthly legal reports), the annual Reporte de Indicadores de Género, research studies, public policy advocacy, and free downloadable guides. The organization also offers a free online training on harassment prevention via the ACHS platform. These programs are standalone initiatives rather than an integrated platform; they collectively serve companies, policymakers, and the public through evidence generation, advocacy, and capacity building.

Direct peers

• ComunidadMujer: Chilean nonprofit foundation working on women's economic autonomy, gender-gap research, and public policy advocacy. Closest direct peer given the shared Chilean focus, evidence-based research agenda, and policy-influence model.
• CERES (Centro de Estudios del Retail y la Sociedad): Chilean nonprofit that generates research and convenes companies around ESG and corporate sustainability. Comparable to ChileMujeres in being a non-membership foundation that produces data-driven reports and runs corporate-community programs in Chile.
• RedMAD: Chile-based professional women's network that connects senior executives, publishes research, and runs corporate programs to advance gender equity in business. Closely comparable in target audience (corporate women leaders) and programming (events, recognition, research).

Broad incumbents

• UN Women: United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women, producing flagship reports and global policy frameworks. Comparable as the dominant global actor in the same gender-equity advocacy space ChileMujeres operates in nationally.
• International Labour Organization (ILO): UN agency setting international labor standards, including conventions on equal remuneration and discrimination. Overlaps with ChileMujeres on labor-focused gender standards, parental leave, and pay equity.
• Catalyst: Global nonprofit that produces research, advisory services, and events to advance women in the workplace. Comparable as an evidence-driven gender-equity organization serving multinational corporate members, though operating at a global rather than national scale.
• Lean In Foundation: Nonprofit founded to empower women through Circles, research, and corporate partnerships. Comparable in its focus on workplace advancement and corporate engagement on gender equity, though serving a broader global audience.

Others

• PwC Women in Work / PwC Chile: Big-4 firm that publishes Women in Work and Women Matter-style reports and validates corporate gender metrics. PwC Chile is already a partner of ChileMujeres on Premio Impulsa, and overlaps in producing gender-disaggregated labor analysis.
• McKinsey Global Institute — Women Matter: McKinsey research stream publishing flagship reports on women in leadership and corporate gender diversity. Comparable as a producer of evidence-based research used by corporates for gender-equity benchmarking, though serving a global audience.
• World Economic Forum — Global Gender Gap Report: Annual benchmark ranking of gender gaps across countries, including economic participation. Comparable as a high-profile, recurring gender-gap measurement product that competes for corporate attention and media coverage in the same space.
