What redWIM-Red de Mujeres Latinoamericanas y del Caribe en Gestión de Organizaciones does

RedWIM (Red de Mujeres Latinoamericanas y del Caribe en Gestión de Organizaciones) is a non-profit professional network founded in 1999 and headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It convenes 72 members from 15 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean who are academics, consultants, and practitioners working on gender, leadership, and women's development in organizational management. Its origin traces to the Women in Management (WIM) seminars at Lulea University of Technology in Sweden, and it is governed by a directorate of senior academics and corporate advisors.

The network's core products and services include research projects (notably a 2022 trilateral study on gender diversity management across 30 organizations in Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, and a gender-equity best-practices evaluation pilot in women-led SMEs across four countries), technical assistance, training programs, international and regional encounters, and a knowledge base comprising the "Libro RedWIM" publication, an audiovisual library, a member directory, and editorial content distributed via its website and social channels (Facebook, X/Twitter @red_wim). The underlying technology is a standard WordPress content platform with no proprietary software or AI/ML components.

The business model is non-profit and member-supported; there are no disclosed pricing structures, revenue figures, or funding rounds in the input data. RedWIM's commercial activity consists of grant-funded and project-based consulting, training fees, and occasional publications, supplemented by in-kind contributions from partner institutions including EvalGender+, ReLAC, Universidad de Sevilla, Universidad Javeriana de Cali, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, and Universidad Mayor (Chile). The customer base is the 72-member community plus the organizations participating in sponsored research and SME pilots across Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico.

• International Women's Forum (IWF): Global membership organization of senior women leaders. Comparable in mission to advance women in leadership roles across regions, though broader in geographic scope and significantly larger in resources.
• Catalyst: Global nonprofit advancing women in the workplace. Comparable DEI research and corporate advisory mission, with substantially greater resources and global brand recognition.
• UN Women: United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and women's empowerment. Operates the regional agenda that frames much of RedWIM's work and is a potential funder, convener, and competitor for the same stakeholder attention.
• Global Fund for Women: International foundation funding gender equality and women's rights organizations globally. Comparable mission and a potential grant-maker for RedWIM's programming across Latin America.

Direct peers

• ReLAC: Latin American and Caribbean monitoring, evaluation, and systematization network allied with RedWIM. Both pursue equity-focused evaluation and gender-transformative methodologies in the region.
