EQUIS: Justice for Women (EQUIS Justicia para las Mujeres)
About

EQUIS Justicia para las Mujeres is a feminist organization that since 2011 seeks to transform institutions, laws, and public policies to improve access to justice for all women.

They work for comprehensive justice that takes into account the crossings between gender and other categories such as race, ethnicity, class, disability, immigration status, gender-gender identity, sexual preference, among others.

EQUIS Justice for Women promotes new ways of addressing gender violence and non-discrimination. Their approach goes beyond the use of criminal law and seeks to look at structural causes. They work directly with governmental and judicial institutions to offer proposals based on research and solid evidence. Transparency tools are their main resource to achieve advocacy. Through alliances with civil society organizations, they seek to strengthen citizen auditing.
