La Casa del Encuentro

What La Casa del Encuentro does

La Casa del Encuentro is a non-profit civil association (Asociación Civil) founded on October 4, 2003, headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that works on gender-based violence prevention, direct victim assistance, and public-policy advocacy. The organization operates two core programs: CAOPI (Centro de Asistencia, Orientación y Prevención Integral), which delivers free direct services to victims of gender-based violence, and the Observatorio de Femicidios "Adriana Marisel Zambrano," established in 2009 as Argentina's first comprehensive femicide monitoring observatory. It maintains a team of approximately 21 staff, predominantly composed of volunteer lawyers, psychologists, social workers, and assistants. All services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries.

The business model is non-commercial: revenue is sourced from corporate donations, foundation grants, international organization support, and government subsidies. Visible funding partners include Farmacity, La Caja, BYMA, Banco Hipotecario, Exing, Instituto Natura, Avon, ONU Mujeres, and the government of CABA. Over 22 years of continuous operation, the organization has contributed substantively to multiple national laws addressing femicide in Argentina and has built reputational authority as a counter-data source that frequently challenges official government figures on femicide incidence.

Recent activity centers on leadership renewal (reincorporation of Fabiana Tuñez as Executive Director in September 2025), public-policy engagement (Annual Femicide Report at the CABA Legislature in March 2025, CEDAW Alert filing against government rollbacks), and channel expansion through partnerships with Provincia NET (corporate training, May 2026) and Club Atlético River Plate ("Atajamos la violencia" campaign, June 2026). ADA Beatriz Rico appears as a cited expert voice for the observatory.

Core offering

La Casa del Encuentro is a feminist civil association that provides free, in-person interdisciplinary (psychological, legal, and social) assistance to women, girls, and diversities experiencing gender-based violence through its CAOPI center in Buenos Aires, complemented by mutual-aid support groups, corporate and institutional training, and public policy advocacy. The organization also produces and disseminates the Observatorio de Femicidios "Adriana Marisel Zambrano" — the most comprehensive longitudinal femicide dataset in Argentina — to inform legislation, journalism, and government action.

Product overview

La Casa del Encuentro is a civil association offering two core programs: the Centro de Asistencia, Orientación y Prevención Integral (C.A.O.P.I.) providing direct victim assistance services, and the Observatorio de Femicidios 'Adriana Marisel Zambrano' which monitors and reports on gender-based violence statistics nationwide. The organization functions as a feminist advocacy group rather than a technology product company.
