EQUIS: Justicia para las Mujeres

For Promotion Of Women’s Human Rights In Mexico Through Transparency In The Justice System

Overview
Founded in 2010, Justicia para las Mujeres (Equis) seeks to promote women’s human rights and gender equality through legal, advocacy, and women’s leadership strategies to achieve social justice. This grant would enable Equis to use access to information and transparency tools to give women greater access to a responsive justice system in three Mexican states and at the federal level. The project will focus on using social audits, requesting access to information, and monitoring public service delivery throughout the justice system in order to hold Mexico’s judges, public prosecutors, clerks, police officers, defense attorneys, and other justice providers accountable to the country’s international human rights and gender equality commitments.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support  
EQUIS: Justicia para las Mujeres is a feminist organization that works for access to justice for women by transforming power structures that generate oppression and exclusion. EQUIS envisions a world where all women, in their diversity, live in justice and where feminism is a way of living that allows all people to inhabit spaces of joy and well-being. EQUIS works to strengthen its structure and guarantee its financial and institutional sustainability so that it can react more assertively to social change, continue innovating, and establish networks for the exchange of knowledge at the national and international levels. (Strategy: Inclusive Governance)
for developing a new communications strategy  
This OE grant would enable Equis to develop a communication strategy that makes full use of the narrative potential in their work, as well as redesign their webpage and logo to better fit a modern web design and use of social networks.
for strategic planning  
This OE grant would allow Equis to undergo a Strategic Planning which would offer clarity of mission and objectives; definition of a five-year strategy; setting measurable indicators of success, and a review of staffing and organizational structure. Equis has grown exponentially over the past couple of years, and has a new, incoming ED for the first time (the position had been occupied by different members of the Board). It is a timely moment to carry out a strategic planning process to deal with some of the current institutional challenges, as well as define a clear set of priorities and goals going forward.
