MADRE

MADRE is an international women's human rights organization that works in partnership with women's community-based groups in conflict areas worldwide. Programs address issues of armed conflict and forced displacement; women's health and reproductive rights; economic justice and community development; Indigenous Peoples' rights and resources, food security and sustainable development; human rights advocacy; youth; and US foreign policy. MADRE provides resources and training to enable sister organizations to meet immediate needs in their communities and develop long-term solutions to the crises they face. Since founding in 1983, MADRE has delivered over 21 million dollars worth of support to community-based women's groups in Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa, the Balkans, Asia, and the United States.
