Isis International-Manila

Isis International was formed in 1974 to: create opportunities for women's voices to be heard, strengthen feminist analyses through information exchange, promote solidarity and support for feminist movements across the globe. Isis focuses on advancing women's rights by linking women, sharing knowledge and engendering change. Starting in Rome, Italy and Geneva, Switzerland, today Isis has three independent offices in Asia, (Manila, Philippines), Africa (Kampala, Uganda) and Latin America (Santiago, Chile) reflecting a commitment towards South-South cooperation and South-North linkages. Isis International has an active Women and Media program and Resource Center with articles, reports, research papers and links to other women and development programs. The organization is named after the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis who symbolizes wisdom, creativity and knowledge. The office in Rome moved to Manila in 1991.
