VidaAfrolatina es un fondo internacional de mujeres emergente que moviliza recursos y los conecta con organizaciones lideradas por mujeres negras y afrodescendientes en América Latina que abordan la violencia sexual. Seleccionadas a través de un proceso participativo, estas organizaciones proporcionan experiencias de curación culturalmente relevantes en sus comunidades y lanzan iniciativas para reducir y, en última instancia, eliminar la violencia sexual. Estamos orgullosos de ampliar la visión, la sabiduría, el poder y el liderazgo de nuestros socios beneficiarios.


Si no se invierte en las soluciones de las mujeres negras para sus propias comunidades, los problemas estructurales e interseccionales que perpetúan la violencia sexual continuarán en gran medida sin ser disminuidos e ignorados. VidaAfrolatina se esfuerza por llenar un vacío de recursos para fortalecer y ampliar el trabajo de las organizaciones de mujeres negras y afrodescendientes.
