Juan Fernandez Women's Group (in Spanish: Agrupación de Mujeres de Juan Fernández) is a Chilean women's rights organization based in the Juan Fernandez Islands.[1] It works to advocate for women in the islands, with focus on economic opportunities, the reduction of gender-base violence,[2] and intersectional issues affecting the environment and sustainability.[3][4] One example is a programme with the Ministry of Agriculture to encourage entrepreneurism: women are encouraged to harvest berries of invasive species such as maqui and murtilla and create products for sale and export.[5] In 2024 the group was presented with a 3D printer by a ham radio expedition team.[6]
Presidents of the group have included: Angela Bravo,[2] Paula Bravo Paredes,[3] Irene Retamal Contreras,[7][5] among others. The group is administered by an elected board of directors.[8] The organisation works in collaboration with the Office of Women of the Juan Fernandez municipality.[9]
