The Flora Tristán Peruvian Women’s Centre is a Peruvian feminist institution born in 1979 as a non-profit civil association. Its mission is to fight the structural causes that constrain knowledge and the exercise of women’s citizen’s rights. As regards the current context and with a view toward future scenarios, the institution stresses its responsibility as an actor in civil society working to build and strengthen democracy, based on feminism as a political proposal for change. Starting from these principles, the Flora Tristán Peruvian Women’s Centre strives to exert an influence both on the broadening of citizenship among women as well as on development processes and policies, in an effort to ensure these are guided by gender equity and justice.

The Centre is organized as a combination of five programmes, as follows: Women’s Human Rights, Political Participation and Decentralisation; Sexual Rights and Citizenship in Health; Rural Development; and Feminist Studies and Debate. Activities take place in the areas of training, production and dissemination of knowledge by means of advocacy and lobbying.
