Movimento Mulheres 3S

What Movimento Mulheres 3S does

Movimento Mulheres 3S (also known as 'A Força das Mulheres no Terceiro Setor') is a Brazilian non-profit civil society movement founded in 2021 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The movement addresses the structural paradox in Brazil's Third Sector where women constitute approximately 65-70% of the workforce but remain underrepresented in leadership and decision-making positions. It operates as a trilateral alliance uniting civil society organizations, private sector partners, and government institutions, with co-founding organizations FUNDAMIG and Conectidea providing organizational and communication infrastructure, and the Ministério Público de Minas Gerais (MPMG) serving as host institution through its CAOTS division.

The movement's core offerings include the Manifesto 'A Força das Mulheres no Terceiro Setor' (foundational document for signatories), the Agenda Colaborativa Mulheres 3S (a participatory platform aggregating events, campaigns, and mobilizations aligned with UN SDG 5), the Café Mulheres 3S event series for in-person networking among women leaders, a formal membership/adhesion program, and a research initiative mapping the profile of women in Minas Gerais's Third Sector. Technology infrastructure is lightweight, consisting of a Wix-hosted website with social media integration and a WhatsApp community group. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary platforms, or advanced technical components are deployed.

The movement operates on a non-commercial revenue model funded through donations and institutional partnerships with organizations supporting gender equality and Third Sector empowerment. No fees are charged for participation. Activities are distributed through institutional partnerships, with events hosted primarily at MPMG facilities and amplified through a partner network spanning corporate foundations (Fundação Dom Cabral, Fundação ArcelorMittal Brasil), civil society organizations, and government bodies. The organization employs approximately 9 people and operates with a lean structure suited to community coordination and advocacy rather than commercial scaling.
