Diversamente Veeduria Ciudadana

What Diversamente Veeduria Ciudadana does

Diversamente Veeduria Ciudadana is a Colombian grassroots social movement organization founded in 2017 in Bogota that advocates for the rights of people with psychosocial disabilities. It operates as a veeduria ciudadana (citizen oversight body) since achieving formal recognition in August 2018, and functions as the representative of MOSODIC (Movimiento de Discapacidad Colombia) on the National Mental Health Council. Its mission addresses discrimination in employment, denial of legal capacity, forced institutionalization, exclusion from social services, and lack of representation in disability policy discussions. The primary audience is individuals with mental health conditions including epilepsy, borderline personality disorder, depression, and hearing impairment, along with caregivers and disability rights allies across Colombia.

The organization operates entirely through standard consumer web platforms rather than proprietary technology. Its technology stack consists of a WordPress-hosted blog at diversamenteco.wordpress.com for long-form content and personal testimonies, a YouTube channel (@Diversamente Locos) hosting the 'Marcelo y Familia' video series and other advocacy content, and Twitter/X (@diversamenteco) and Facebook accounts for real-time updates and community engagement. All content is freely accessible; there are no proprietary products, APIs, mobile applications, or commercial software offerings.

The business model is non-commercial and donation-based rather than revenue-generating. The organization does not sell products or services and instead requests small member contributions of approximately COP $10,000 (roughly USD $2.50) per participant and accepts public donations through a Bancolombia savings account. It is led by Luisa Fernanda Barros Plata (Coordinadora de Diversamente) and operates as a volunteer collective of about 11 people. Go-to-market is community-led advocacy through digital content and direct participation in legislative and policy forums at the municipal (Bogota City Council) and national (National Mental Health Council) levels.
