Centro de Derechos Humanos de las Mujeres

What Centro de Derechos Humanos de las Mujeres does

Centro de Derechos Humanos de las Mujeres (CEDEHM) is a Mexican non-governmental organization headquartered in Chihuahua that provides legal, psychosocial, and educational services focused on women's human rights. Founded in 2005, the organization has operated for roughly two decades within Mexico's civil society ecosystem, serving women and vulnerable populations through advocacy, accompaniment, and capacity-building.

CEDEHM's service offering rests on three pillars: legal aid for women facing rights violations, psychosocial support for affected individuals and families, and human rights education aimed at prevention and empowerment. The organization operates with a small staff of 11–50 employees, consistent with a regionally focused NGO rather than a national or international federation. Its operating geography is concentrated in Mexico, with no disclosed presence in additional countries.

As a private non-profit, CEDEHM does not generate commercial revenue; its operating model is grant-based, dependent on donations and institutional funding from civil society, governmental, and international sources. The organization holds no disclosed subsidiaries, has no parent entity, and is not publicly listed. No funding rounds, leadership changes, partnerships, M&A activity, or product launches are documented in the available input data, and the organization's own website (cedehm.org.mx) was not accessible for substantive review at the time of data collection.

Direct peers

• Equis Justicia para las Mujeres: Mexico City–based feminist NGO providing legal, communications, and advocacy support to women across Mexico, making it a direct peer to CEDEHM in mission and integrated legal-plus-advocacy service model.
• Grupo de Información en Reproducción Elegida (GIRE): Mexican NGO combining legal defense, research, and advocacy on reproductive and women's rights; comparable to CEDEHM as a multi-disciplinary women's rights service and advocacy organization.
• Fondo Semillas: Mexican women's fund that channels philanthropic resources to grassroots women's rights organizations; peer to CEDEHM in focus and Mexican geographic context, though operating as an intermediary rather than direct service provider.
• Sin Violencia A.C. Mexican organization dedicated to ending violence against women through legal, psychological, and educational programs; near-identical service mix and mission to CEDEHM.

Broad incumbents

• Women's Link Worldwide: International human rights organization using litigation and advocacy to advance women's rights; broader geographic scope than CEDEHM but same legal-advocacy approach for women's human rights.
• Amnesty International Mexico: Global human rights NGO with active Mexico programming on women's rights, GBV, and impunity; comparable as a human-rights advocacy organization but operates at much larger scale and scope.
• Ipas: International NGO focused on reproductive rights and women's autonomy, including in Mexico; comparable mission and service-delivery orientation to CEDEHM but at global scope.

Emerging players

• Consorcio para el Diálogo Parlamentario y la Equidad: Mexican organization promoting gender equity through legislative advocacy and civil society capacity building; partial overlap with CEDEHM's policy-adjacent human rights work.
