Partnering for Social Change
MADRE partners with community-based women's groups that share our vision of a world where all
people enjoy the full range of human rights. We work with our sister organizations to meet urgent
needs and build women's capacity to create positive social change.
The women who come together through these organizations are survivors. They have lived through
war, political repression, genocide, economic and sexual exploitation. They have faced down the
twin burdens of natural disaster and disastrous policies. Yet they have refused to give in to despair.
