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.

We report on gender issues and social injustices, we organize mobilizations, we make complaints, we make educational and opinion content, we build communities of women who know and help each other.

Our dream is to be able to motivate all young women in Latin America to fight for human rights, environmental and social justice.

What 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.

Legal Mobilization

We have a group of lawyers who provide advice to all women who need it and take strategic actions in legal and administrative areas to make our rights a reality.

How to abort?

Jacarandas has worked to implement Judgment C-055 of 2022, which allowed free abortion in Colombia up to the 24th week of gestation.

Where to abort?

Through the Jacarandas Line, we have identified clinics and hospitals throughout Colombia, so we made an index and a search engine by city so that you can go to a place that respects your right to abortion under the best conditions.

I need advice

Write to us on WhatsApp when you have questions about how to access an abortion legally and for free. Also when you need legal support because you were denied your rights. All legal support is free of charge.
