History

CMP Flora Tristán has been connected with the advancement of women's rights in Peru since its founding in 1979. It was named in honor of French-Peruvian socialist writer and activist Flora Tristan. Its founders include the feminist sociologists Virginia Guzmán Barcos,, and Virginia Vargas.[3] [4] [5] The latter served as the organization's coordinator, and later as its director until 1990.[6]

The cartoonist Marisa Godínez joined in 1980, before they established their first site at Quilca, to run publication and create visual elements for promotion for the organization.[7]

The jurist was responsible for the legal assistance program for defense of victims of gender violence, including violence and sexual exploitation against minors. She was also the center's director from 1994 to 1996.[8]

In 2004, on the occasion its 25th anniversary, the center organized the national seminar "25 Years of Feminism in Peru", analyzing the evolution of the feminist movement and creating a strategy for working to advance public policies.
