Plataforma Unitària Contra les Violències de Gènere

What Plataforma Unitària Contra les Violències de Gènere does

Plataforma Unitària Contra les Violències de Gènere is a non-profit feminist umbrella organization founded in 2005 in Barcelona, Catalonia, that coordinates a coalition of 140+ member entities to prevent, address, denounce, and repair gender-based violence. The Platform serves multiple beneficiary segments: women and survivors of gender-based violence, youth and adolescents, the member organizations themselves, and international feminist partners in Colombia, Palestine, Mexico, and Mozambique. Its core programs include the XAJI youth equality network operating in 18 educational centers, the OVIM (Observatori de Violències Institucionals Masclistes) documenting institutional violence, the Feminicidio.net documentation portal tracking feminicides across the Spanish state, the #ProuFeminicidis monthly public demonstrations, and the annual Fòrum contra les Violències de Gènere. The organization also publishes educational resources on digital gender-based violence, sexual education, and pedagogical toolkits for schools.

The Platform's technology footprint is a content/advocacy digital infrastructure — primarily the violenciadegenere.org website used for resource distribution, event mobilization, and member/volunteer recruitment, alongside dedicated subdomains for XAJI (xaji.violenciadegenere.org), Feminicidio.net, and OVIM (ovim.org). These are documentation and publishing platforms rather than technology products; no proprietary software, APIs, or AI components are present. Distribution occurs through direct community organizing (memberships, volunteer recruitment, public demonstrations), digital channels (website, newsletter, social media), and educational institution partnerships.

The business model is a non-profit funding stack: individual membership fees (Fes-te sòcia), private donations (Fes un donatiu), public grants from the Generalitat de Catalunya, Ajuntament de Barcelona, Diputació de Barcelona, Agència Catalana de Cooperació al Desenvolupament, and the European Social Fund via the Pacto de Estado contra la violencia de género framework, plus private foundation support from Obra Social 'la Caixa'. All services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. The 13-person technical team operates within a governance structure comprising a member assembly (Assemblea), board (Junta), and technical team (Equip Tècnic). No revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and the organization has no parent company, venture backing, or subsidiaries.
