Jacarandas is a Foundation that works on issues of abortion, gender and sexuality.

We are a group of feminists who fight for human rights, who are passionate about new formats to educate and mobilize young people, who understand that digital activism is an essential tool for changing the world.

What do we do?

We help women and pregnant people across Colombia to access reliable information about abortion, as well as information on issues of gender and sexuality.

Social Mobilization

We mobilize on the streets and at public events to demand social changes and motivate young women to participate.

Digital Mobilization

Our community exists thanks to digital tools. We know how to turn hard-to-understand speeches into content accessible to anyone. Thanks to our Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter and Facebook accounts, we reach a massive audience with whom we talk and learn to fight together.

our dream

Our dream is that more and more young people in Latin America feel empowered to defend human rights, environmental rights, and social justice—and know they are not alone when they choose to raise their voices.
