The Manuela Ramos Movement is a non-profit Peruvian feminist organisation that has been working for more than thirty years to improve the situation and position of women.

The movement began in 1978 as a space aimed at women who otherwise had only scarce possibilities of gaining access to information regarding their rights, and as a source of support when they find themselves defenceless. Currently the movement provides advisory services and training, as well as research on and the dissemination and defence of women’s legal, economic, social, political and reproductive rights within the different cultures that make up Peruvian society.

The interventions are organised along four thematic lines, as follows: the right to a life without violence; economic rights; political rights and citizenship; and sexual and reproductive rights. Cross-cutting issues are the gender and human rights approaches.
