MADRE is working with our partners to provide food, water and aid to communities combating the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
Our grassroots partners are women leaders who protect and provide for communities facing war and disaster. Together, we build skills, strengthen local organizations and advance progressive movements. And we bring women's demands to policymakers and advocate for rights, resources and results.
Domestic Violence in the COVID-19 Crisis
In times of crisis, domestic violence spikes. MADRE and a coalition of human rights organizations demand a global ceasefire on domestic violence.
Care and Connection in Crisis
In a new publication, MADRE presents what a feminist response to the COVID-19 crisis looks like. As we mobilize urgently with our partners, we are driven by the same social justice principles that have always guided our work.
Global Feminist Activists Stand in Solidarity with Protestors Defending Black Lives in the US
As a global community, we mourn those taken by police violence and militarism. We've connected with feminist activists, grassroots organizers and human rights defenders from the Global South to express solidarity with Black communities in the US. Together we believe #BlackLivesMatter.
In this TED Talk, MADRE Executive Director Yifat Susskind presents a message that we need right now: think like a mother.
