Watch Video
The Trump Administration has stepped up its assault on immigrants, refugees and Indigenous Peoples. In response, we brought a delegation of Indigenous women from all across the world to the US-Mexico border. They came together with Indigenous women and leaders in Arizona to exchange experiences and solutions. Watch a video that captures highlights of that visit.
The International Crimes Against Humanity Treaty
A new convention on crimes against humanity (CAH) is in its final draft stages, but most civil society groups — including women, LGBTIQ, disability, Indigenous, aboriginal, youth, caste, and racial and ethnic minority rights groups — have not weighed in. The CAH drafting process is moving quickly in the UN process, and now is a critical time to get involved.
Progress for Afro-Colombian Women’s Demands for Peace
MADRE joins our partners to spotlight the solutions of women peacebuilders, from Colombia and around the world. They hold the key to lasting peace, stability and progressive US policies.
MADRE has collaborated with local Colombian partners, Proceso de Comunidades Negras (PCN) to create a book profiling a group of Black women organizers. This books names the challenges with surveillance, violence, repression and more - as well as the intergenerational movements to combat them.
