What LATFEM does

LATFEM (LatFem - Periodismo feminista) is an independent feminist journalism organization founded in 2017 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It operates a WordPress-based digital media platform (latfem.org) that publishes investigative journalism, feature articles, photo galleries, illustrated stories, and multimedia content covering violence against women, politics, economy, society, culture, activism, and sports across Latin America and the Caribbean. The organization is led by co-directors Flor Alcaraz, Vanina Escales, and Agustina Paz Frontera, with a total team of 13 employees, and operates sub-brands including LATFEMLAB (an innovation lab), Semillera (a chronicle journalism competition), and investigative series such as Rompiendo Moldes, Ellas alimentan al mundo, and Cuidados digitales.

The organization's business model is donation- and grant-driven with no paywall or subscription fees. Revenue streams include small recurring contributions from readers via the Cafecito App crowdfunding platform and project-based grants from international foundations including We Effect, the Fondo de Respuesta Rápida (FRR) de Derechos Digitales, and the Friedrich Ebert Argentina Foundation. LATFEM reaches its audience through organic social media channels on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, supplemented by community workshops and events. No funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent company are disclosed, and revenue figures are not publicly reported. The organization has no AI/ML technology stack, no proprietary software products, and no commercial SaaS or API offerings — its core asset is its editorial content and the community of journalists and readers it has cultivated across the region.
