What is Semillas?
Semillas (Sociedad Mexicana Pro Derechos de la Mujer, A.C.) is a non-profit organization that makes grants to organized women’s groups that seek to develop projects to promote the awareness and exercise of women’s human rights.
Semillas, which in Spanish means seeds, knows that all the different responsibilities and duties that women have as mothers, caretakers, providers, educators, resource generators, politicians, field workers, business owners, social leaders, scholars, artists, etc… make them the fundamental factors of change in their families, communities, and society at large. Semillas is also aware that strengthening Mexican women’s rights builds a more just society, promotes a new culture of equality between women and men, and improves life conditions for generations to come.
