Fondo de Mujeres del Sur

Fondo de Mujeres del Sur (FMS) is a fund that mobilises financial resources and provides support to organisations that promote womens and LBTIQ+ peoples rights in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Since 2017, FMS is also coordinating a regional programme called Leading from the South, covering 21 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. FMS was founded on October 12th, 2007 by six respected feminists, as a collaborative effort to aid the womens movement at a regional and international level, which had already reached the foundation of other womens funds in various parts of the world. We finance and support grassroots initiatives, organisations and networks created and led by women and LBTIQ+ people, who work to achieve transformative results towards gender equality and justice. Our goal is to strengthen women, feminist and diversity movements, from a human rights-based approach, gender perspective, empowerment, intersectionality and interculturality
