Red Nacional de Mujeres Colombia

What Red Nacional de Mujeres Colombia does

Red Nacional de Mujeres Colombia is a non-profit feminist advocacy network founded in 1991 and headquartered in Bogotá, Colombia. The organization coordinates women leaders and feminist organizations across 15 territorial nodes spanning Barranquilla, Bogotá, Bolívar, Cauca, Chocó, Manizales, Magdalena Medio, Medellín, Pasto, Puerto Colombia, Risaralda, San Andrés y Providencia, Santander, Tolima, and Valle. Its work is organized around four axes: political participation, sexual and reproductive rights, prevention of violence against women, and women's participation in peacebuilding. Notable advocacy outcomes include contributing to the opening of Macrocase 11 on sexual violence at the JEP (Special Jurisdiction for Peace) and securing the nullification of three government appointments for non-compliance with Colombia's Gender Quota Law.

The organization's core digital products are the ELLAS Libres de Violencias mobile application, which helps women identify types of gender-based violence and access attention/protection routes, and the Libres de Violencias Centro de Aprendizaje web platform, which delivers educational content for youth. These are complemented by advocacy campaigns (Paridad Ya, Causa Justa, Kioscos por unas fiestas libres de violencias, Un lugar seguro con Ellas), multi-module training programs (Mujeres Construyendo en Paz), territorial peace projects, and a national journalism award on Women, Peace and Security. The technology stack is purpose-built for advocacy and information dissemination rather than commercial productization, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

Red Nacional de Mujeres does not have its own legal personality (personería jurídica); its legal representation is held by Corporación para el Desarrollo Humano - Humanizar. The organization is funded entirely through project-based grants from international donors and development agencies including ONU Mujeres, the Norwegian Embassy, Swedish Church Act, AFD (France), Christian Aid, UN Peace Consolidation Fund, Fokus Frauen, and Global Affairs Canada. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The organization is a core member of multiple coalitions including Alianza 1325, Alianza Cinco Claves, Causa Justa, La Mesa por la Vida y la Salud de las Mujeres, and the global GNWP network, which together extend its reach well beyond its 16-person technical staff.

Core offering

Red Nacional de Mujeres Colombia is a national feminist network that coordinates women's rights advocacy across 15 territorial nodes in Colombia. It conducts policy incidence, research, and capacity-building programs on four axes: women's political participation, sexual and reproductive rights, prevention of violence against women, and women's participation in peacebuilding. It delivers its mission through campaigns, training, publications, digital tools (the ELLAS Libres de Violencias mobile app and Centro de Aprendizaje web platform), legal advocacy, and direct engagement with national and territorial government institutions.

Product overview

Red Nacional de Mujeres is a feminist advocacy network focused on four thematic axes: women's right to a life free of violence, political participation, sexual and reproductive rights, and women's participation in peacebuilding. Its primary digital products are the ELLAS Libres de Violencias mobile application and the Libres de Violencias Centro de Aprendizaje web platform, which work in tandem — the app provides real-time violence identification and reporting tools while the Centro de Aprendizaje offers educational content for youth. The organization runs multiple advocacy campaigns and initiatives (Paridad Ya, Causa Justa, Kioscos, Remando Juntas por la Paz, Un lugar seguro con Ellas), a journalism award on Women Peace and Security, and structured training programs like Mujeres Construyendo en Paz. The ecosystem also includes publications and documentation covering policy analysis, gender studies, and peace agreements.
