Feminist Notes on Creativity and Persistence

For FCAM, 2024 was a year for us to write and rewrite in the face of sudden, unexpected changes, which led us to continue reflecting and strengthening our adaptability, political creativity, and commitment to the sustainability of women’s and feminist movements in Central America.

In recent years, and particularly in 2024, working toward social justice and human rights in Central America has required not only perseverance and resilience, but also the capacity to constantly reinvent ourselves. Indeed, the current context compels the collectives, organizations, and networks that make up women’s and feminist movements, ourselves included, to reflect and be reborn with each new challenge, with the conviction and persistence to continue being the ones who write our history.

Women, trans, and non-binary people of all ages are the ones organizing and taking the front lines to defend and sustain life in contexts marked by social, political, and environmental crises, with initiatives that promote gender justice.

At the Fondo Centroamericano de Mujeres (FCAM), we recognize that transformative power resides in those who, from their local, community, and national realities, dare to reimagine and take action for more just and inclusive societies.

This report reflects our commitment to the movements, and it highlights some of the achievements and lessons learned that we, together with the partner organizations, have gained since 2024. In this process, we want to highlight our shared capacity to turn challenges into opportunities for change and strengthen solidarity and collective action.
