The initiative for the creation of the Feminist Observatories of Transgressions began with an agreement of 25 feminists from Central America & Mexico, who met during a conference in Panama entitled, “Imagining and Reinventing the Feminism of the Future. It took place September 19-22, 2006, and was organized by Just Associates (JASS), and sponsored by the international organizations HIVOS of Holland, and the Global Fund for Women. The first action was the International Observatory of Women in the Nicaraguan Elections, followed by seven more both actual and virtual observatories in different locations in the region.
