MADRE has always opposed US military intervention in Afghanistan, knowing war would never be a sustainable way to win rights for Afghan women or anyone else for that matter.

We are mobilizing to seize on potential openings for a more transformative US policy agenda — one rooted in care, cooperation, and rights — and that centers the voices and expertise of women and feminists at the grassroots.

MADRE has been in constant contact with our partners in the region, providing funds to help them survive and hold on to hope. 

On October 21, 2020, MADRE co-hosted a panel event on accountability for racial and gender-based persecution committed against Afro-descendant communities during Colombia's conflict.

In previous years, MADRE worked closely with our partners to bring their voices to these important climate policymaking spaces. This year, we continued our commitment to ensure an opportunity for Indigenous women leaders to share their voices, leadership and expertise.

MADRE is making emergency grants to grassroots organizations in Syria and across the region that are mobilizing urgently to meet people’s needs.

This exchange is one of many to bring women leaders from all over the world together in one space to learn from each other, strategize and build collective power.

For the past 15 months, Tulia Maris Valencia and Sara Quiñonez — mother and daughter, and Afro-Colombian human rights defenders — were unjustly detained in a maximum-security prison, in retaliation for raising their voice on behalf of their community.https://www.madre.org/press-publications/your-support-action/action-alert-free-sara-and-tulia
