Our need for a feminist pro-democracy movement will outlast the results of any election. MADRE has gathered insights from our partners around the world on how to defend democracy from the grassroots, what nonviolent feminist action looks like and why it's needed now.
We fund work to meet urgent needs in communities, enhance women's leadership and build strong local institutions.
We strengthen the skills of individuals and organizations to mobilize in communities, influence policies and sustain movements.
We mobilize our team of advocates and lawyers to train and accompany partners in shared campaigns for policy change.
We work with women leaders who protect and provide for communities facing war and disaster. Together, we build skills, strengthen local organizations, advance progressive movements, and advocate for rights.
MADRE Speaks, Fall 2020 Newsletter
The future depends on caring, and our partners are doing just that. From rapid COVID-19 responses to solidarity for the Black Liberation Movement to young girls impacting their communities, our partners teach us what care looks like in action.

A Vision for a Feminist Peace
In partnership with the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance and Women Cross DMZ, we've just published a new report called A Vision for a Feminist Peace: Building a Movement-Driven Foreign Policy. We’re excited to launch this new framework to dramatically reimagine a US foreign policy built on intersectional feminist principles and driven by social movements.
In this TED Talk, MADRE Executive Director Yifat Susskind presents a message that we need right now: think like a mother.
