DONATE  TODAY  
The   Casa   Cultural   Tejiendo   Sororidades   is   an   independent,   registered,   non-­‐
governmental   and   non-­‐profit   organiza:on   situated   in   Cali,   Colombia.   The  
organiza:on’s   main   emphasis   lies   on   the   promo:on   of   educa:onal   and   cultural  
ac:vi:es   for   children   and   women   from   the   poor   neighborhoods   of   Cali,   with   the  
primary   objec:ve   to   educate   them   about   their   rights   and   strengthen   their   self-­‐
esteem.   Colombia   has   one   of   the   most   patriarchal   and   macho   socie:es   in   La:n  
America,   taking   its   toll   on   Colombia’s   women,   who   suffer   from   high   incidences   of  
discrimina:on,  abuse  and  domes:c  violence.  In  order  to  counter-­‐act  these  reali:es  
and   support   the   women   in   Cali,   the   Casa   Cultural   is   offering   various   ac:vi:es   and  
services:
