LIMPAL Colombia

What LIMPAL Colombia does

LIMPAL Colombia (Liga Internacional de Mujeres por la Paz y la Libertad) is a Colombian non-governmental, non-profit feminist peace organization founded in 1998 as the national section of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF, founded 1915). It is headquartered at Calle 44 # 19-28 in Bogotá with additional operational presence in Villavicencio (Meta) and María La Baja (Bolívar), serving women human rights defenders, women survivors of the armed conflict, women peace signatories (particularly from FARC-EP), and young feminist activists across at least five Colombian departments (Bogotá, Meta, Bolívar, Guaviare, Cauca). Its mission is to defend women's rights as a condition for stable and lasting peace, framing collective care as a human right and an antimilitarist political paradigm.

LIMPAL's operational portfolio spans direct service delivery, feminist political formation, research, and policy advocacy. Direct services include the Casas Amarantas safe spaces (two physical houses offering psychosocial and legal accompaniment to women in conflict-affected territories), the Voces Resilientes legal and psychosocial accompaniment program for survivors engaging the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), and the Red de Sabedoras y Sanadoras healing network. Political formation is delivered through territorial in-person feminist schools (Escuelas Feministas, including Escuela Mandrágoras and Communication for Peace) and the Escuela Virtual Ángela Salazar, a Moodle-based online learning platform offering free courses on peacebuilding, gender-based violence, antimilitarist feminisms, and political participation. Research output includes the Violencias Invisibles microsite on militarized masculinities (with comparative analysis between Mexico and Colombia), the Voces Feministas journal, peace monitoring reports, and Resolution 1325 implementation studies. Content distribution encompasses a podcast ("Mujeres Construyendo Paz"), YouTube video library, and microsites such as Voces del Cuidado.

LIMPAL operates as a grant-funded non-profit rather than a commercial entity: it provides services free of charge and accepts voluntary donations through Colombian bank transfer. Revenue (not publicly disclosed) is sourced from a diversified portfolio of international cooperation grants and institutional donors, including multiple sovereign embassies (Canada, Ireland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands), Spanish AECID, UN agencies (UN Women, UNFPA, UNICEF, PNUD, UN Peacebuilding Fund, Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund), the OAS MAPP mission, GIZ, Open Society Foundations, ACDI/VOCA, and Colombian state partners (Agencia para la Reincorporación y la Normalización, Cancillería, Unidad de Implementación del Acuerdo de Paz). It is governed by Director Diana Salcedo López and operates with approximately 23 staff and a volunteer/intern pipeline. The organization received the 2022 Premio Nacional de Derechos Humanos for its work on UN Security Council Resolution 1325, and in mid-2026 was visibly active in Spanish policy forums calling for a feminist, demilitarized foreign policy.

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Open Society Foundations: International philanthropy foundation funding civil society and human rights. Functions here as a funder/ecosystem peer — comparable only in the sense that it is one of LIMPAL's named financial partners with shared thematic focus.

Direct peers

• Sisma Mujer: Colombian feminist organization providing legal accompaniment, psychosocial care, and advocacy for women survivors of armed conflict and gender-based violence — overlapping substantially with LIMPAL's Voces Resilientes and Casas Amarantas work.
• Casa de la Mujer: Colombian feminist NGO focused on women's rights and gender-based violence response. Directly comparable mission and beneficiary base, and a listed LIMPAL partner, making it a near-direct peer for funding and constituency.
• Ruta Pacífica de las Mujeres: Colombian feminist coalition explicitly working on women's rights and peacebuilding in conflict-affected territories. Direct peer — same constituency (women in conflict zones), same advocacy toward the peace agreement, and listed as an active LIMPAL partner.
• COALICO: Coalition of Colombian organizations focused on children's rights and prevention of child recruitment by armed groups. Comparable Colombian-conflict civil-society peer, listed as a LIMPAL partner, addressing overlapping peace-and-rights constituencies.
• Corporación Suyusama / Sanacción - Acompañamiento Psicosocial Feminista: Colombian feminist psychosocial accompaniment organization for women survivors of armed conflict. Directly comparable service offering to LIMPAL's psychosocial accompaniment lines, and listed as an active LIMPAL partner.
• Instituto CAPAZ: Colombia-Germany academic institute supporting peacebuilding and reconciliation. Comparable Colombian peace-building peer; listed LIMPAL partner with overlapping funder relationships (German cooperation).
• Católicas por el Derecho a Decidir Colombia: Colombian feminist organization advocating for sexual and reproductive rights. Comparable feminist-advocacy peer in Colombia; active LIMPAL partner with overlapping donor pool.

Broad incumbents

• UN Women Colombia: UN entity for gender equality and women's empowerment; listed active LIMPAL partner and a key funder. A broad incumbent in the same WPS agenda space, though operating as a multilateral rather than a national NGO.
• Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF): WILPF is LIMPAL's global parent organization and the world's oldest feminist peace body (founded 1915). It is the most direct structural peer: same mission, same antimilitarist feminist framework, same UN consultative status, with national sections in dozens of countries.
