What Intersecta, Organización Para La Igualdad, A.c. does

Intersecta, Organización Para La Igualdad, A.C. is a feminist civil society organization (Asociación Civil) headquartered in Mexico City that conducts policy research, advocacy, and publication work aimed at eliminating structural discrimination against women and marginalized communities in Mexico. Its substantive areas span the gendered impacts of militarization, prison reform, labor inequality (including the gender wage gap), redistributive fiscal policy, and indigenous women's access to justice. The organization produces research reports, technical documents, articles placed in external media (Animal Político, Este País, Gatopardo, Nexos), methodological tools (e.g., a guide for measuring the gender wage gap), shadow reports for international human rights bodies (notably a 2019 submission to the UN Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination), and convenes conferences and public events.

Intersecta operates as a non-profit civil association with no commercial products, no proprietary software, no public API, and no app. Underlying "technology" is essentially a content-publishing stack — a website (intersecta.org) hosting free, downloadable PDF reports, plus active profiles on Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn, and an email newsletter. Outputs are informational and educational rather than technical, and there are no proprietary features, integrations, or AI capabilities disclosed.

The business model is grant- and donation-funded: the pricing notes explicitly state Intersecta does not sell commercial products or services and operates through grants, donations, and partnerships. It is independent (no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed venture or equity funding) and is governed collectively, with a team structure referenced on its website. Its "customers" in the commercial sense are non-existent; its beneficiaries are Mexican women and marginalized groups, and its institutional counterparties are other civil society organizations (Red Feminista Antimilitarista, EQUIS Justicia para las Mujeres, Fondo Semillas, Comisión Mexicana de Defensa y Promoción de los Derechos Humanos, and Dispensario among them). The geographic focus is Mexico, with selective engagement of supranational human-rights mechanisms.
