MISSION

The Mission of the Federation of Progressive Women is to promote change in the social, economic and cultural structures and to construct personal autonomy to achieve gender equality, and that’s why we believe, that exercising the work of a lobby, building awareness and deconstruction of traditional roles, we must remove the principles that maintain the patriarchal system, which claims as natural the imbalance in relations between women and men.  We are convinced that we need to reach the point where women and men stop subjecting themselves to what society states they “should be” and through effective empowerment, think, act and feel free, building their own vital life projects with equal opportunities and rights. If this equal access to opportunities and rights is not possible, develop appropriate measures of positive action that encourage and allow it.  As a consequence of its Mission, de FPM combines its work with Values of Participation, Feminism, Multiculturalism, Ethical Coherence and Progressivism.

VISION

Our Vision is a society where both women and men actively participate in the social, political and economic spheres with equal rights and opportunities, without their fate being predetermined by socially pre-established roles and stereotypes.

VALUES

The Values that we promote and we base our work on are feminism, equality, equity, freedom, sisterhood, multiculturalism, diversity, active participation, leadership and coherence.

The Federation of Progressive Women devotes all of its financial resources, contributions from member Federations and Associations, donations, grants and private donations obtained, as well as all of the proceeds gained from its activities, to achieve its established purposes and objectives.
