THIS IS JASS
Not just a voice.
The power to be heard.
Since 2002, JASS has brought together activists, popular educators and scholars to strengthen feminist movements. We are rooted in Mesoamerica, Southeast Asia and Southern Africa, and work globally with partners.
We believe women themselves must have the power to define and lead the change they seek. Feminist Popular Education is at the heart of that work: starting with experience, asking critical questions and building shared strategies.
