Humanas

What Humanas does

Corporación Humanas is a Colombian non-profit civil society organization (corporación sin ánimo de lucro), founded in 2003 and headquartered in Bogotá at Carrera 7 No. 33-49, Oficina 201. The organization conducts feminist research, political advocacy, and direct legal and psychosocial accompaniment for women victims of the Colombian armed conflict and gender-based violence. Its work is organized across four programmatic lines: women and peacebuilding, women and drug policy, women free from violence, and women in prisons. Humanas operates as a leading civil society actor in transitional justice, particularly through its role in advocacy before the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) and its contribution to the opening of Macrocaso 11 on sexual and reproductive violence.

The organization's product portfolio combines advocacy, monitoring, and educational offerings. Core products include the Formación con Humanas virtual learning platform (offering courses and mentoring on gender-based violence, sexual diversity, social protest, and legal tools), the Humanas Podcast, two observatories tracking UN Resolution 1325, peace processes, and judicial decisions, and periodic bulletins on gender measures in the Peace Agreement. Add-on modules include Mentoring jurídico y psicosocial, Juntas Somos Poderosas, and Salvaguardar la Resistencia, focused on protection of women human rights defenders.

Corporación Humanas does not generate commercial revenue. It is funded through international cooperation grants from more than 20 multilateral, bilateral, and private donors, including UN Women, the European Union, USAID, NORAD, the National Endowment for Democracy, Open Society Foundations, GIZ, and the Agencia Catalana de Cooperaci\u00f3n al Desarrollo. Its geographic reach spans multiple Colombian departments (Chocó, Montes de María, Sur de Córdoba, Antioquia, Cauca, Putumayo, Nariño, Norte del Cauca, Sucre) and extends into cross-border Latin American work through a partnership with MPDL on drug policy exchanges between Colombia and Guatemala. Distribution occurs through direct field accompaniment, the Formación con Humanas self-serve platform, and alliance networks for gender-measure monitoring.
